资深CPI（M）领导人和前州长G. Sudhakaran有争议的声明

经验丰富的CPI（M）领导人和前国家部长G. Sudhakaran的有争议的声明，他承认篡改邮政选票

Veteran CPI(M) leader and former state minister G. Sudhakaran’s controversial statement, in which he admitted to tampering with postal ballots during the 1989 Lok Sabha elections in Alappuzha, has come to the attention of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Kerala.

经验丰富的CPI（M）领导人和前国务大臣G. Sudhakaran的有争议的声明，他承认在1989年在阿拉布萨（Alappuzha）举行的Lok Sabha选举期间，他承认对邮政投票进行了篡改，引起了喀拉拉邦首席选举官（CEO）的关注。

Following which, the CEO has directed the Alappuzha District Collector to register a case and initiate a detailed investigation.

随后，首席执行官指示Alappuzha区收藏家注册案件并启动详细调查。

On Thursday afternoon, the Alappuzha Tahsildar, accompanied by a few other officials, visited Sudhakaran’s residence to record his statement.

周四下午，在其他一些官员的陪同下，Alappuzha Tahsildar访问了Sudhakaran的住所，记录了他的声明。

“We have taken his statement and will be submitting our report to the District Collector today itself. The Collector will then forward it to the Chief Electoral Officer,” the Tahsildar said.

塔希尔达尔说：“我们已经发表了他的声明，并将我们的报告今天向地区收藏家本身提交。然后，收藏家将其转发给首席选举官。”

Later, speaking to the media, Sudhakaran confirmed the visit. “Yes, the officials spoke to me, and I have given my statement,” he said.

后来，Sudhakaran在向媒体讲话时确认了这次访问。他说：“是的，官员们对我说话，我发表了声明。”

When asked if he feared any consequences following the disclosure, he responded promptly, “Why should I? I haven’t committed any murder, so there’s nothing to fear.”

当被问及他是否担心披露后有任何后果时，他迅速回答：“我为什么要呢？我没有犯有谋杀罪，所以没有什么可担心的。”

The 91-year-old leader, known for his outspoken views, made the revelation at a meeting of a CPI(M)-backed service organization in his hometown. Now retired from active politics, he claimed that while overseeing election duties in 1989, he and others manipulated postal votes to favor the party’s candidate.

这位91岁的领导人以其直言不讳的观点而闻名，在他家乡CPI（M）后面的服务组织的一次会议上启示了。现在，他从活跃的政治中退休，声称在监督1989年的选举职责时，他和其他人操纵邮政投票，以偏爱该党的候选人。

“We were in charge of the elections and brought the postal ballots to our committee office. We discovered that not all employees affiliated with our organization had voted for our candidate. So, we tampered with the ballots. Our people should vote for our candidate, but that doesn’t always happen,” Sudhakaran said in his speech.

“我们负责选举，并将邮政投票带到我们的委员会办公室。我们发现，并非所有隶属于我们组织的员工都投票赞成我们的候选人。因此，我们篡改了选票。我们的人民应该为候选人投票，但这并不总是会发生，” Sudhakaran在讲话中说。

He added defiantly, “I don’t care even if the Election Commission takes legal steps against me for this disclosure.”

他反抗地补充说：“即使选举委员会对我采取法律措施，我也不在乎。”

In the 1989 polls, CPI(M) fielded K.V. Devadas against Congress candidate Vakkom Purushothaman. A video of Sudhakaran’s remarks went viral on Thursday, prompting a swift response from the Election Commission, which is now examining the legal implications of his admission.

在1989年的民意调查中，CPI（M）对国会候选人Vakkom Purushothaman派出了KV Devadas。 Sudhakaran言论的一段视频在周四风靡一时，引发了选举委员会的迅速回应，该委员会现在正在研究他的入学的法律影响。

Congress-led UDF has long accused CPI(M) of manipulating the electoral process -- from the preparation of voters’ lists to alleged bogus voting. And Sudhakaran’s statement, they say, is a direct confirmation of those claims.

由国会领导的UDF长期以来一直指责CPI（M）操纵选举进程 - 从准备选民名单到所谓的虚假投票。他们说，Sudhakaran的声明是对这些主张的直接确认。

Reacting to the controversy, senior Congress leader and former MP K. Muraleedharan said: "This is not a one-off incident. It reflects a pattern in CPI(M)s electoral conduct. The Election Commission must take serious note of this and act accordingly."

对这一争议的反应，国会高级领导人和前国会议员K. Muraleedharan说：“这不是一次性事件。它反映了CPI（M）选举行为的一种模式。选举委员会必须认真对待这一点并采取相似的行动。”
