THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPM central committee that met online on Saturday resolved to render all-out support to the call for the withdrawal of the Agnipath scheme announced by the Union government. The central committee meeting concluded that the BJP government’s move to entice the youth by projecting Agnipath as a panacea for unemployment has backfired, at least in the initial phase.
The committee meeting originally scheduled as a conventional meeting in New Delhi for two days was cut short into a single-day online meeting. Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who is not attending public functions for a couple of days on the account of health issues, did not participate in the central committee meeting as well.
