CPI Attacks LDF's Flagship Project

UNDERMINING CPM's claims of having distributed essential commodities through Supplyco without hiking prices for nine years, key LDF ally, the CPI, which holds the food and civil supplies portfolio, has alleged that the measure has pushed the state government-owned company into a debt trap.
The political report presented at the CPI state conference on Wednesday is unsparing in its criticism of the LDF government over what it terms lapses in governance, implementation of welfare schemes and financial management.
The decision to sell essential commodities without raising the prices from 2016 to May 2024 has placed a heavy financial burden on Supplyco, the report alleged. The government's failure to pay the ₹1,767.57 crore dues to the agency has further deepened the crisis, it said.
