Kerala's UDF Decides to Implement PM SHRI Scheme Amid Political Debate
Kerala's ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) has decided to implement the Centre's PM SHRI scheme, reversing its earlier opposition due to the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government's signed MoU. UDF leaders cite the need to secure central funding and maintain fiscal commitments, while opposition parties like the Communist Party of India (CPI) and Indian National League (INL) challenge the government's claims, stating no legal obligation exists and accusing the UDF of aligning with BJP interests. The debate centers on education policy, funding, and ideological concerns.
