  "account": "CPI(ML) Liberation General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya has urged the INDIA bloc to adopt a unified stance on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). He criticized the delay in convening the bloc's meeting, scheduled for August 8, and emphasized the need for a collective response to the SIR. Bhattacharya noted that the upcoming polls in several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Manipur, and Goa in 2027, necessitate a national view. The CPI(ML) Liberation party is considering contesting Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab, either as part of the INDIA bloc or the Left bloc, depending on the formation of a broader coalition. Bhattacharya highlighted the voter exclusion in Bihar, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh, urging the INDIA bloc to address these issues collectively.",
