V D Satheesan, the leader of the opposition in Kerala, has accused Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan of hypocrisy and political opportunism regarding the support for G Sudhakaran, a rebel candidate from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Ambalappuzha. Satheesan questioned the CM's criticism of the United Democratic Front (UDF) for backing Sudhakaran, pointing out the inconsistency in CPM's approach to party-switching. He cited examples of CPM fielding former UDF leaders, such as KT Jaleel and V Abdurahiman, while criticizing UDF's support for those leaving CPM. Additionally, Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala alleged that Sudhakaran's supporters faced death threats from CPM workers following intensified attacks from the CM. Satheesan further accused the CPM of hypocrisy, claiming that the party often aligns with the accused rather than supporting victims, as seen in the case of filmmaker Ranjith. He expressed confidence that the UDF is on track to secure over 100 seats in the upcoming elections, emphasizing that secular values will prevail against the perceived alliance of CPM with BJP and other groups.
