CPI targets Modi government at Delhi rally, calls for ‘change’
Party general secretary D. Raja accuses the BJP-led government at the Centre of running a “fascist regime”
On September 1, 2026, the Communist Party of India (CPI) targeted the Narendra Modi government at a rally in Delhi, demanding "change" from the BJP-led administration. CPI general secretary D. Raja accused the government of pursuing pro-corporate policies and running a "fascist regime." He claimed that the poor were being deprived of their fundamental rights, and the government was corporatising public sector undertakings, demolishing the education system, and commercialising healthcare and education.
The CPI also cited the dilution of the rural employment guarantee programme as detrimental to the country's social, political, and economic conditions. CPI national secretary Amarjeet Kaur drew parallels with the Indian freedom struggle against British rule, urging the nation to unite against the "RSS-BJP Raj of division, inequality, and authoritarianism," stating that the BJP and RSS have always viewed Left parties as their primary political opponents.
