The All India Forward Bloc (AIFB) today accused the BJP government at the Centre of pushing the country into "serious economic and political crisis" and sought unity among all the democratic, secular and progressive forces in the country.

The time has come to wage all-out campaign against the "RSS-controlled" Narendra Modi government, the party said in a statement after its two-day central committee meeting.

"The rule of BJP-led Modi government has pushed the country into serious socio, economic and political crisis. The time tested values of democracy, secularism, sovereignty and socialism enshrined in the Constitution of India are facing serious challenges from Modi dispensation," it said.
 

"Therefore the unity of all the democratic, secular and progressive forces is the need of the hour. The AIFB is committed to strengthen such unity," the statement said.

It said the AIFB has decided to launch a nation-wide "mass action" against the "anti-people policies" of the Modi government during NovemberDecember.

It was also decided that the 18th Party Congress of the AIFB will be held at Kolkata from December 12 to 16, next year, it added.
