In Kerala, a political upheaval emerged amid ongoing bypolls as excerpts purportedly from the autobiography of CPI(M) leader E P Jayarajan circulated widely. Jayarajan refuted the claims, labeling the book as a forgery, and lodged a police complaint against those involved.

News channels broadcast segments of the alleged autobiography criticizing the ruling LDF government, which the opposition interpreted as evidence of internal conflicts within the CPI(M). Jayarajan denied authoring the content and stated that his autobiography is still unfinished.

CPI(M) leaders dismissed the controversy as media fabrication while the opposition utilized the event to critique the state government. Authorities have been called to investigate the alleged conspiracy, with Jayarajan seeking legal action to resolve the matter.
