The Kerala CPM has dropped KK Shailaja from the second Pinarayi Vijayan ministry to be sworn in on Thursday. Shailaja had acquired international fame as health minister and became the face of the LDF government on handling Covid-19 and Nipha outbreak. Barring the CM, all CPM ministers in the outgoing ministry have been denied another term.Shilaja’s grounding triggered a mild ‘breaking news’ in local and national news outlets, with a section of the CPM central leadership showing unease about it. Sources said bureau members in Delhi, led by the general secretary Sitaram Yechury, were told about the new ministerial pick before it was announced and that some of them conveyed their uneasiness about Shilaja’s’s dropping.However, Yechury later said the Kerala leadership’s decision “was unanimous”, indicating the matter was closed. However, reports said a minority group of seven state committee members had opposed the proposal for dropping Shilaja when it was placed before it. When contacted, Brinda Karat told ET: “As per our party’s functional principle, it’s the Kerala party leadership that took the decision on the party’s new ministers in the new LDF government. Therefore, it is for the Kerala CPM leadership to explain the reasons and rationale for the decision.”On its part, the Kerala CPM leadership displayed characteristic coldness and emotional aloofness while dismissing the ‘bleeding hearts’ and justified the decision to drop Shilaja as part of “a historic policy decision” to usher in lineup of entirely new faces as CPM ministers in Pinarayi’s second stint as CM. This new norm, was similar to the another new norm, two-term cap imposed while selecting CPM candidates, while giving party tickets to fresh faces, but made many suspect it as ploy to clip the wings of many senior cabinet ministers. Shilaja’s exclusion made many compare it with the CPM leadership’s infamous putting down of KR Gowri and Susheela Gopalan, arguably the most popular CPM women leaders. However, unlike the two rooted leaders, Shilaja is just a submissive dispensable foot soldier of the ‘Kannur CPM lobby’, convenient to prop up as easy to ground. There were murmurs about a section of Kerala CPM being unhappy about Shilaja’s larger-than-life image and whispers have that churning within the ‘Kannur lobby’ led to her dropping. Incidentally, the Opposition UDF had always dismissed Shilaja’s Rockstar image projected as state-sponsored PR.
Shilaja announced soon that she has fallen in line. “It (dropping her) is part of a policy decision to make fresh faces ministers. Whatever I did as the health minister was done with the full backing of the LDF government,” she told media persons. She will become the chief whip of the CPM in the assembly.New ministerial faces include M Govindan, P Rajeev, N Balagopal, V Shivankutty, R Bindu (recently retired college professor and wife of CPM state secretary Vijayaraghavan), Mohd. Riyaz, (DYFI national president and son-in-law of Pinarayi) and Veena George. Ex-MP MB Rajesh will be the new Speaker. The CPI too has proposed fresh faces as its four ministers and a deputy speaker. The Opposition UDF has decided to stay away from the swearing in-ceremony, alleging violation of Covid-19 protocol.
