CPI, CPI(M) on the same page over PM SHRI, says Binoy Viswam

CPI State secretary Binoy Viswam has denied allegations that the CPI(M) unilaterally signed up for the Centre's PM SHRI school scheme. He emphasized that the Left parties remain united in their opposition to the scheme and criticized the UDF for spreading misinformation.
Why it matters
The dispute reflects the intense political rivalry in Kerala between the LDF and UDF, particularly regarding federal education policies and central government influence.
The CPI and the CPI(M) have the same position on the Centre’s PM SHRI (Prime Minister Schools for Rising India) school scheme, CPI State secretary Binoy Viswam said on Monday (June 29), rejecting the United Democratic Front’s (UDF) allegation that the CPI(M) had signed up for it without informing its Left ally.
The report provides a balanced account of the political accusations and the CPI's rebuttal without taking a side.
