Reiterating its commitment towards the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc hit by Janata Dal (United)’s exit in Bihar, the CPI(M) Central Committee, the highest decision-making body of the party, slammed the Congress for “adopting a negative and anti-democratic” in Kerala.
“Despite the JD(U) deserting the INDIA bloc and collaborating with the BJP, the CPI(M) will make all efforts to further strengthen this formation and continue the activities to defeat the BJP to safeguard the secular democratic character of our Constitutional Republic,” the CPI(M) statement said. The focus, it said, is to complete the ongoing State-level talks on seat sharing between its constituents at the earliest and then proceed to reach out to the people based on core issues.
But at the same time, while flagging the Pinarayi Vijayan government’s run-in with Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, the party also criticised the Congress.
