palakkad the threeday plenum of the cpm ended on friday with politburo member sitaram yechury claiming he had never seen the party so united in kerala in a long time he may have been spoton about the end of factionalism but his related remark that differences within the party be settled bolshevik style couldnt have endeared him to most delegates there was also little sign that the 400odd delegates had fully bought into the partys idealistic attempt to cleanse its cadres of bourgeois distractions like religious piety and real estate speculation various delegates reportedly told party leaders seated on the podium to put their own house in order before exhorting others to stay away from pujas luxurious lifestyles and alcoholism finally the real focus was elsewhere with pinarayi vijayan summing up the selfcongratulatory mood of the plenum by saying that the party wont attempt to pull down the oommen chandy govt because its collapse was inevitable
