Discussions at the delegates' meeting of the Communist Party of India (CPI)'s 24th State Conference on Sunday suggested room for improvement in the functioning of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government, compared to the previous term. Resolutions passed at the meeting demanded, among other things, abolishing of the Governor's post and a rethink on Centre-State relations, in light of the recent controversies involving the Governor and the LDF government.
The delegates' meeting on Sunday discussed the political report presented by CPI State secretary Kanam Rajendran, which criticised the State government for imposing UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) and also struck a line of caution on big-ticket developmental projects which are facing protests on the ground. Elaborating on the discussions, CPI assistant secretary Prakash Babu said at a press conference that no specific demands for course correction were made, but the general opinion was that there was room for improvement in the government's performance.
A resolution was also passed against the State government's decision to implement the 12-hour duty system for Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC). It demanded that working hours be limited to eight hours.
