CPI(M) identifies ‘parliamentary aberrations’, failure to follow mass line, collective functioning as key concerns
M.A. Baby says party to undertake stage-wise rectification campaign across States following Polit Bureau discussions
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) has outlined three key issues that the party will address in its "rectification campaign": parliamentary aberrations, failure to adhere to the mass line, and inadequate collective functioning. This campaign was announced by party general secretary M.A. Baby following the party's electoral defeat in Kerala's recent Assembly polls. The rectification campaign is a response to the 24th Party Congress in Madurai, which called for stage-wise rectification within the party.
During a press conference, Baby explained that the party will discuss how far each individual is free from these shortcomings. The impact of alien class influences such as parliamentarism, as well as experiences with the mass line and measures to strengthen collective functioning at all levels, will be examined. Baby emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong connection with the people, stating that party leaders should spend time with comrades and listen to their concerns.
Party members are urged to support the chosen candidate without dissent, with disagreements to be addressed within party forums. A Central Committee meeting is scheduled for October 9-11 in New Delhi to discuss and strengthen the rectification campaign report. Regarding the upcoming elections in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, Baby reaffirmed the party's commitment to defeating the BJP and its allies, stating that electoral strategies will be developed at the State level.
