Why should the official group be scared of VS Achuthanandan, for he does not have a successor to take up his work?

Even today the state secretariat of the CPM has complained to the central leadership about V.S.Achuthanandan violating party discipline and openly voicing his differing views.

Actually, the nonagerian VS would walk into the Sunset, of course following the same line of arguments which he calls it as an attempt to correct the ideological deviation of the official group. The official group definitely has no doubt about the violation of discipline by VS.

Actually, what harm can VS do as he does not transfer his heritage to anyone else?  Perhaps, his own erstwhile closest  lieutenants fear to  tread his path, for there is no future for them.
