UDF government's PM-SHRI stance sparks political debate in Kerala

The United Democratic Front government in Kerala has decided to proceed with the implementation of the PM-SHRI scheme, a decision celebrated by the BJP as validation of the Union government's educational initiatives. The move has intensified political divisions in the state.

The opposition Left Democratic Front has criticized the decision, characterizing it as evidence of a political arrangement between the UDF and BJP. The LDF views the adoption of the centrally-sponsored scheme as compromising Kerala's autonomy in educational policy.
