A public event that marked the culmination of the five-day 23rd party congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] on Sunday turned out to be a show of strength of the party’s State unit as well as the district unit that hosted the conference.
Addressing a large gathering, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who presided over the event, said there was no going back on launching development projects no matter what happened. He said the people had given a mandate for this.
Mr. Vijayan claimed that there were no differences of opinion between the Kerala State committee and other State committee over development issues. The party congress had given a go-ahead to the government for launching projects that would improve the lives of the people, he said.
