KPCC defers decision on further stir
The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) will give a final shape to the follow-up protests over various budget proposals, including the tax hikes, on Wednesday.
The decision was postponed to Wednesday since the contours of the protests could not be formulated at the executive meeting that was convened in Kochi.
A decision will be taken after holding consultations with senior leaders such as the Leader of Opposition and the KPCC president.
