Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) president and former finance minister TM Thomas Isaac said Kerala’s decision to sign up for the centrally sponsored PM Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) program was a tactical move to secure central funds.
Speaking to the media on Sunday (October 26, 2025), Mr Isaac said differences of opinion within the Left Democratic Front (LDF) would be discussed and resolved.
“Even if the PM SHRI scheme is implemented, the National Education Policy (NEP) will not be implemented in Kerala. The state will decide what should be taught in its schools and will strongly oppose any attempts at saffronisation,” Mr Isaac added.
