ON October 18, 2012, V S Achyuthanandhan, leader of opposition in Kerala assembly and a CPI(M) Central Committee member, admitted that it was wrong on his part to visit the home of slain RMP leader T P Chandrasekharan on the very day of the Neyyattinka byelection. At a press conference in the state capital Thiruvananthapuram, he said he also accepted the fault of his stand on the Koodamkulam issue. He termed his stand on this issue as a deviation from the party’s stand.
