Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader and former Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac has said that Kerala’s decision to sign up for the Centrally sponsored PM Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) scheme was a tactical move to secure Central funds.
Speaking to the media on Sunday (October 26, 2025), Mr. Isaac said that 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 enforced in Kerala. The State will decide what should be taught in its schools and will strongly oppose any saffronisation attempts,” added Mr. Isaac.
