With the assembly elections in West Bengal approaching next year, the CPI(M) leadership today called for an effort to increase youth participation and people's mobilisation in the party besides setting up joint platforms with various social and issue-based movements
A resolution adopted at the party's organisational Plenum said, "To employ flexible tactics to deal with swift changes that may occur in the political situation in accordance with our Political-Tactical Line. To set up joint platforms with various social movements, people's mobilisations and issue-based movements."
The party called for approaching sections of the exploited classes who were currently under the influence of bourgeois parties.
"To rapidly increase our independent strength by adopting a mass line and our intervention capacities, strengthen Left unity and to forge the Left and Democratic Front not only as an electoral front, but as a fighting alliance of forces for an economic, social and political change by isolating the reactionary ruling classes.
"To effectively implement united front tactics to discharge the dual tasks of unity and struggle by developing joint movements, enabling us to approach sections of the exploited classes who currently are under the influence of bourgeois parties," it stated.
The CPI(M) also called for forging class and mass struggles on economic and social issues to widen the party's influence and to rally the Left and democratic forces.
The members in its Plenum session called for streamlining the organisation to build a revolutionary party with quality membership.
"We should be making special efforts to attract youth to the party. We should walk forward towards a revolutionary party with a mass line," the report said.
