The Communist Party of India (Marxist) will build a campaign to protect voting rights and democratic rights. Propaganda against the implementation of labor codes will continue. Movements will be held in all states demanding that anti-worker rules not be enforced.
The CPI(M) Central Committee announced this goal in a statement on Tuesday. The statement said propaganda against imperialist aggression in Iran, Palestine, Venezuela, and Cuba will be intensified. Mass gatherings will be held demanding the immediate implementation of reservation for women in legislative bodies.
The Central Committee meeting in Delhi from May 22-24 analyzed election results in five states. Political, organizational, and ideological factors behind the results were reviewed. CPI(M) will prepare reports analyzing from the grassroots level in Kerala, West Bengal, as well as Tamil Nadu and Assam. The CPI(M) has again got the opportunity to express its views in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly. The Central Committee called this positive.
Overall, it was stated that Hindutva communal forces have been able to consolidate themselves in society. They have managed to come to power in West Bengal. Although the BJP won fewer seats in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, its increased influence is concerning.
Regarding the ‘INDIA bloc’, it was stated that unity of all Left, progressive, secular, and democratic forces is essential to counter the rise of far-right forces. But the role of the Congress is not helpful in this regard. The Congress’s campaign in Kerala was criticized.

Regarding seat reallocation or delimitation, it was stated that the BJP-led central government wants to change the electoral map of the country. Reservation for women has been linked with this. The BJP wants to conduct delimitation to its electoral advantage. It wants to reduce the importance of southern states. The BJP is using state institutions to implement its agenda, which has been proven again.
Regarding the Special Summary Revision (SSR) of electoral rolls, it was stated that by creating a new criterion of ‘logical inconsistency’, many people have been disenfranchised. The judiciary has failed to protect the voting rights of these people. Never before in the country have voter lists been manipulated in the interest of a particular political party. The credibility of the entire election process has been questioned.
The Central Committee said that SSR will be conducted in 17 more states. The Election Commission must ensure that the voting rights of genuine voters are not taken away.
CPI(M) strongly opposed the removal of the government opportunity for objection in the SSR in Bihar and West Bengal.
The Central Committee expressed anger over arrangements for showing the Football World Cup, the Cockroach People’s Party, the NEET question paper leak, attacks on women, Dalits, and Adivasis, protests by laborers, the scrapping of MGNREGA, the shortage of fertilizers, the rise in fuel prices, and the dire state of the Indian economy.
