In a usage that puzzled even the intellectuals within CPM, an announcement was made during the programme held in Kasaragod in which it is heard that Kerala communist CM Pinarayi Vijayan is the ‘fullness of pure devotion who can bring enlightenment to the inner sanctum’!
The announcement was made at a function of the Industries Department at Kasaragod that said “The Chief Minister is lighting the lamp, conveying the message that only the fullness of pure devotion can bring enlightenment to the inner sanctum.” There is widespread criticism of this on social media.
Some on social media have pointed out that such references are against the declared policies of the party. Industry Minister P Rajiv was also present on the occasion. But there was no response from the Chief Minister who seems to have enjoyed the praise by his ‘devotees’.
Earlier at the mega Thiruvathira in Thiruvananthapuram, the song describing the Chief Minister as ‘Karanabhoothan’ had evoked major controversy. The word that is referred to as gods in Hindusim means the reason for everything that exists in the universe.
