Kerala Congress Leader Accuses CPI(M) of PM SHRI Scheme Secrecy
KOTTAYAM, KERALA – October 25, 2025 – Kerala Congress chairman P.J. Joseph launched a blistering attack on the CPI(M) Saturday, accusing the ruling party of deliberately concealing its endorsement of the PM SHRI scheme from the people of Kerala and its own coalition partners.
Speaking at a protest meeting in Thirunakkara, Joseph alleged the CPI(M) acted in secrecy, even keeping key CPI leaders like Binoy Viswom and D. Raja in the dark. “It’s not just the people of Kerala who were kept in the dark,” Joseph stated, “even CPI State secretary Binoy Viswom and CPI general secretary D. Raja were not taken into confidence.”
Joseph also took aim at the Kerala Congress (M) led by Jose K. Mani, ridiculing their unwavering support of the CPI(M). “Theirs is a party that raises its hands for whatever the CPI(M) puts forth,” he quipped.
The protest, a part of the Kerala Congress’s intensified campaign against the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in the lead-up to local body elections, focused on what the party described as the LDF’s “betrayal of promises and anti-people measures.” Several other Kerala Congress leaders spoke at the event, including P.C. Thomas, Mons Joseph, Joy Abraham, T.U. Kuruvila, and Francis George.
