After investment summit, a ‘New Kerala’ plan. CPI(M)-led LDF eyes a hat-trick in the state

Kollam: Looking for a third term next year, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), or the CPI(M), is banking on a ‘New Kerala’ plan that emphasises on showcasing the development since the Pinarayi Vijayan government came to power in 2016. It also includes the strengthening of the party’s media outreach and strategising its policies for a growing middle class in the lone Left-ruled state in the country. The party came up with the blueprint for the ‘New Kerala’ plan for returning to power for a historic third term at its 24th State Congress underway from 6 to 9 March in Kollam district.

Delimitation row | The North-South divide

The south of India is drawing a thick red line. At an all-party meeting convened by Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin on March 5, leaders from across the state declared war against the upcoming delimitation exercise, calling it a calculated assault on their “political relevance”. Stalin warned that the plan, if executed on raw population figures, would punish the southern states for successfully controlling their birth rates, while rewarding the North that had not. Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, Telangana’s A. Revanth Reddy, and Kerala’s Pinarayi Vijayan have voiced similar apprehensions, warning that a weaker parliamentary presence for the South would translate into diminished central allocations, further deepening the divisions between the two regions.

‘Petty’ not to acknowledge good, says Tharoor, as Congress goes red after praise of Vijayan govt

New Delhi: With its Kerala unit left red-faced following Shashi Tharoor lavishing praise on the Left government’s new industrial policy, the Congress high command Sunday said the Thiruvananthapuram MP’s opinion does not reflect the stand of the party. On his part, Tharoor defended the piece, saying while he does not believe that the overall industrial climate has changed, “when something good emerges, even if only in one area, it is petty not to acknowledge it”. But, his explanation did not cut any ice with the leadership of the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala. UDF convenor M. M. Hasan slammed Tharoor, saying if he wishes to air views that do not align with that of the Congress or the alliance’s stance, he should have the decency to resign from the Congress Working Com...
