The Left Front will move forward unitedly by handling all the problems. The issue with CPI will be discussed and resolved. Their criticism will be taken at face value. The Centre is taking a stand that affects states like Kerala by imposing conditions on all projects. A Congress-ruled state is the first in India to sign the PM Shri project. The central government's scheme has conditions that will lift financial sanctions on states like Kerala. The party is against such policy conditions,' said M V Govindan said.
