Kottayam: Criticism of DYFI and SFI at the CPM Kottayam district conference. The organization reports that the old vigor of youth student organizations has been lost. DYFI is unable to take up mass issues and gain influence over the youth. The criticism is that seats on campuses are decreasing due to the attitude of SFI leaders towards students.
The report also says that the BJP’s growth is seriously eroding the Left votes. A resolution was passed in the meeting demanding that the proposed Sabarimala Sabarimala airport project be expedited. The resolution also demanded that technical issues including land acquisition be resolved.
