The Communist Party of India-Marxist 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.
"Two years ago our party had extended its support to the DF government with a view to keeping Shiv Sena-BJP alliance out of power", he said.
"The earlier Sena-BJP government had increased the debt burden on the state tremendously by announcing outrageous schemes and the present DF government is transferring all the burden to the people", he alleged, adding the government also developed cold feet in implementing recommendations of Srikrishna and Gundewar Commissions.
On the party's decision to withdraw from the coordination committee, Sanzgiri said, "the committee has no place in decision making process and its credibility is eroding."
He said the party has also appealed to PWP, Janata Dal (Secular) and Samajwadi Party to take a similar decision. Bureau Report
