According to sources close to Achuthanandan, he had written to all politburo members alleging that the content of the resolution, as published by the party organ "Deshabhimani", did not do justice to the spirit of the CC resolution.
The senior leader was learnt to have pointed out that the resolution adopted by the CC on July 22 also contained some serious charges he had levelled against the state leadership. However, he contended that the version that appeared in Deshabhimani yesterday had blacked out these references,
However, party general secretary Prakash Karat virtually endorsed what had been published. "Deshabhimani has carried the full text", Karat told reporters at Kozhikode.
Though he was let off with the milder organisational action of public censure, the CC has rejected the 89-year-old leader's contention that he had been fighting the "rightist deviations" of the state unit.
The July 22 CC's resolution said Achuthanandan's stand that his differences with the state leadership pertained to "political and ideological issues, had no basis whatsoever."
On the contrary, the CC said his recent statements were fraught with factional motives.
When reporters persisted with their queries on Achuthanandan's complaint, Karat said "you don't know our party's practices. The Central Committee authorises the Politburo to finalise the resolution and that is being done."
Karat was in Kozhikode for the zonal briefing of the CC decisions attended by party functionaries from branch secretaries onward from six northern districts of Kerala.
The special CC session was held on July 21 and 22 exclusively to discuss the deep divisions in the Kerala unit against the backdrop of flare-up in the long-running tussle between Achuthanandan and party state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan.
