THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPI (M) central leadership has backed the government in controversies including the gold smuggling case by saying that Congress-BJP is trying to taint the image of the left government. The meeting also took a decision to counter the allegations of the opposition through political campaigning.

The meeting also decided to postpone party gatherings until the COVID situation gets better in the nation. The decision regarding the party congress will be taken later. CPI (M) won't ask to postpone the Bihar election. The Election Commission can take an appropriate decision in this regard. The meeting has decided to demand the EC to include the virtual campaign in the election campaign expense.

The two-day CPI (M) central committee meeting was convened through video conferencing.
