Kozhikode: The Kozhikode unit of the CPI(M) is facing an unprecedented acid test. Factionalism within the party has taken a new turn with the Achuthanandan loyalist camp using posters as the primary weapon to take on the official faction. Posters warning Prakash Karat, the general secretary of the party against his proposed participation in a dinner hosted by an industrialist, close to Pinarayi Vijayan hit areas in an around Kozhikode city.

The posters plead to Karat, not to fall in the trap laid by those who aim the destruction of the party. Mr Karat is scheduled to visit Wyanad to attend an agricultural seminar conducted by the CPI (M). it's alleged that Gafoor, a well known industrialist and a close friend of Mr Pinarayi Vijayan, the state secretary of the party is trying to arrange a dinner in his house for Mr Karat.

Posters against Mr Pinarayi Vijayan have appeared in large numbers in Nadapuram area of the dsitrict. Though the official faction had destroyed the posters they continued to appear in different areas creating a headache for the supporters of Mr Vijayan.

They are planning to bring in more than 15,000 supporters to each reception venue sending out a clear signal to the VS loyalists.
