CPI-M to withdraw support to Maharashtra's DF government

The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) on Tuesday said it would withdraw support to the Democratic Front government in Maharashtra due to 'its anti-people policies' and quit from the coordination committee, the decision-making body of the eight-party coalition.

A formal announcement to this effect will be made on December 26 during the party's 17th state-level conference, party's state unit secretary Prabhakar Sanzgiri told reporters in Mumbai.

However, the party, which has two members in the state legislature, would extend issue-based support to the government, he added.

He said the party has also appealed to the Peasants and Workers's Party (PWP), Janata Dal (Secular) and Samajwadi Party to take a similar decision.
