The CPM politburo on Sunday finalised plans for intensifying agitation against the price rise.
The politburo also finalised its rectification report which will be sent to the party’s central committee to be held in Kolkata next month. The rectification process aims at correcting what some leaders describe as “uncommunist lifestyle” and ideological deviations.
“The stubborn refusal of the Centre to change its food policies has been highlighted by the refusal to ban future trading in wheat….The refusal to increase the number of families under BPL in spite of the recommendations of various official committees to increase the number of BPL families in the rural areas to between 41 and 50 per cent is another example of
the wrong policies,” the party politburo said in a statement issued after its two-day meeting.
The party said it would intensify struggles to “bring relief to the people on the basis of the demand for alternative
policies.” The four Left parties have decided to conduct an all-India rally during the Budget session of parliament March next year to protest the price rise.
On the rectification process, the politburo decided to discuss its implementation, expected to be over by June next year, in the central committee to be held in Kolkata next January.
According to a senior CPM leader, the party wanted a timely implementation of the rectification process and it will be monitored by the leadership.
The rectification process is aimed at getting rid of un-communist practices. “Rectification will start from the top—from the politburo and central committee members,” politburo member and West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said.
The politburo also demanded that the Government abandon the nuclear liability Bill and called upon all political parties to oppose the Bill, if it is brought to parliament.
