  • Draft Political-Organisational Report
    Political-Organisational Report Adopted At The 18th Congress Part I Implementation of the Political-Tactical Line Adopted At the 17th Congress The political-tactical line of the 17th Congress had laid out that: “The crucial task in the coming days is to defeat the BJP- led government and work for a secular and democratic alternative. This calls for the rallying of the broadest sections of the people and all the secular and democratic forces. “It must be accomplished in such a manner as to pave the way for the advance of the Left and democratic forces. The CPI(M) must undertake a leading role in this struggle, uniting the Left and rallying all patriotic and democratic sections of the people. The struggle to develop the Left and democratic alternative must be taken up to show the country a new path.” To ensure the success of this task, the Party was called upon to continue the fight to isolate the communal forces on the political and ideological plane; struggle with redoubled vigour against the BJP government’s policies of liberalisation and privatisation and oppose the pro-imperialist policies of the Vajpayee government. In the past three years, the Party accorded priority to the task of fighting the communal forces and isolating the BJP-led alliance. The horrific communal violence in Gujarat had taken place just before the 17th Congress. Immediately after the Party Congress, a campaign was conducted to expose the nature of the State-sponsored communal pogroms against the minorities in the state. Funds were collected for relief for the victims of the violence.
