THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPM is all set to counter media campaign against the party. According to the party’s state committee which reviewed the Chengannur bypoll outcome at its meeting here on Saturday, it was able to successfully defend itself against the onslaught.
CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan will attend the meeting to be held at Kottayam on Monday at which the party will try and put things in the proper perspective in the Kevin murder case in which the CPM has been roundly criticised.
“If needed more political explanation meetings will be held. Despite the constant media campaign, especially the TV channels, against the government , the CPM secured an emphatic victory.
“As per the assessment, the party withstood the campaign to influence the voters,” sources said.
