Pinarayi Vijayan alone need not take “moral responsibility” for the Left Democratic Front’s (LDF) defeat in Kerala, CPI(M) general secretary M.A. Baby said, emphasising that the party functions as a collective entity and that Mr. Vijayan led the campaign as its senior-most member.
Mr. Baby also did not clarify who within the LDF will occupy the Leader of the Opposition position, amid widespread speculation over whether Mr. Vijayan will do so. The CPI has demanded the post of Deputy Leader of the Opposition.
