Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan proposed a policy shift at the CPI(M) state conference in Kollam, emphasizing that investments contradicting the party's ideological stance should be rejected. This follows the introduction of the Kerala State Private Universities Bill, 2025, marking a shift from CPI(M)'s traditional opposition to private and foreign universities. The policy document also outlines goals to establish 15,000 startups and create 100,000 jobs by 2026, while reinforcing the party's commitment to attracting investments from the Malayali diaspora. Additionally, it criticizes Union restrictions on Kerala’s resource mobilization and plans to challenge them in the Supreme Court.
