Poking holes in the CPI(M) and its feeder outfit’s sustained campaign against commercialisation of professional education in Kerala, a state leader of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) managed to secure admission for his daughter in an MBBS course under the NRI quota in a cooperative medical college in Kannur.
Amid public outrage and mounting pressure from the organisation, DYFI state treasurer V V Rameshan was forced to cancel the admission his daughter A V Arya, who had obtained admission at the Pariyaram Institute of Medical Sciences. Rameshan is also a director of the hospital.
While admission in the college under the NRI quota would have meant an annual fee of Rs 10 lakh, Rameshan’s known sources of income are only from a single-room outlet of khadi textile, a photocopier unit in a small town and his wife Anitha’s salary from a job in a public sector firm. Anitha had been additional personal assistant to CPI(M) leader Elamaram Kareem during his term as Industries Minister from 2006 to May 2011. Rameshan is also a district committee member of the CPI(M) in Kasargode.
