Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Congress Chief Sunny Joseph on Monday claimed that the state government's decision to join the Centre's PM SHRI scheme was proof of a "secret alliance" between the ruling CPI (M) and the BJP.

The Marxist party's long-standing covert relationship has now come out in the open now, he alleged.

"It was part of this secret understanding that the general education minister has announced the state's decison to join the PM SHRI without even discussing in the Cabinet," Joseph alleged.

Expressing support for the CPI leaders who openly voiced their reservation about the Education Department's decision, the KPCC president sought to know whether they would stand by their stance. Read Also Hostile Turn For Graduates: UK To Cut Post-Study Work Stay For International Stud
