CPI(M) State secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan on Sunday said the party was against increasing the pension age of State employees. The number of Kerala PSC rank holders awaiting appointments was high. The party had discussed the matter and resolved to shelve the proposal.
Speaking to reporters after a two-day conclave of the CPI(M) State committee here, Mr. Balakrishnan said CPI’s criticism of the government’s handling of the crisis caused by the Governor’s hesitancy on the eve of the Assembly’s Budget session to approve the policy address for the next fiscal did not mean the “close Communist ally was in the Opposition.”
