Pinarayi Vijayan re-elected as CPM State Secretary
Veteran Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) leader Pinarayi Vijayans uninterrupted reign at the top continues, with him being re-elected Friday as secretary of the partys Kerala unit for the fourth successive time.
The election was a mere formality at the last day of the 20th edition of the CPM state party conference.
It was in 1998, when as minister of power in the E.K. Nayanar government, Vijayan first took over as the state secretary of the party.
He hails from Kannur district, considered the cradle of the Communist movement, and began his eventful political career through student union activities before joining the Communist party in 1964.
