The CPI(M) Politburo has begun a two-day meeting in Delhi to examine its defeats in recent assembly elections, particularly in Kerala and West Bengal.
The party will decide whether outgoing Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will assume the post of Leader of Opposition.
CPI(M) is reported to have held discussions on the reasons behind the defeat in Kerala and the erosion of its vote-bank, particularly among minorities.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) Kerala unit will conduct a thorough review from the branch to the district level, listening to party leaders and workers air their grievances.
CPI reiterates demand for deputy LoP post, claiming it is entitled to the position.
CPI(M) state secretary Binoy Viswam said the outgoing LDF government failed to properly handle the protest by ASHA workers in Kerala.
