'Arrogance of CPM leadership led to defeat': Veerendrakumar

The defeat of LDF in Kerala in the Lok Sabha polls was the result of 'arrogance, high-handedness and immaturity of the CPI-M leadership', Janata Dal-S state president M P Veerendrakumar said today.     

Reacting to the results, he said the CPI-M leadership had 'virtually destroyed' the front and kicked out the JD-S from the front after denying them their sitting seat of Kozhikode.     

Veerendrakumar, sitting MP in the segment, said Kozhikode had always been a fortress of the LDF.
