Kerala Polls 2011: CPM tries to win back Muslim support
In an attempt to win back its Muslim votes in Left-stronghold Kerala ahead of next year's assembly elections, the Communist Party of India-Marxist hosted a Muslim convention in New Delhi on Saturday.
The CPM government is bound to debate the reports, since the reports were filed by commissions set up by it," Rajya Sabha deputy chairman and prominent Muslim leader K Rehman Khan told.
Kerala CPM party particularly showcased its 'achievements' in West Bengal.
Party workers distributed a pamphlet titled 'your West Bengal is ahead in minority development' which highlighted the CPM's accomplishments in reservations for minority communities, particularly for the Muslims.
Only the West Bengal's CPM government has implemented the recommendation of the Ranganath Mishra commission report in the state by granting 10 per cent reservations to Muslims in government jobs.
The West Bengal government also will soon announce 10 per cent reservation in all sectors for the Muslims," CPM leader and Rajya Sabha member Moinul Hassan said.
