After battering in the last several elections, ideological differences within CPI(M) on how to come out of the political morass has sharpened with its top leaders on Monday debating an official draft political document and a counter moved by senior leader Sitaram Yechury.
A four-day brainstorming session of the Central Committee has begun with top leaders from different parts of the country debating on the correctness of the political-tactical line adopted at the CPI(M)’s Jalandhar Congress in 1978.
As per this line, the CPI(M) was to take the lead in forming a broad anti-Congress from of secular, democratic parties, as also isolate the BJP. In a significant move, Yechury has placed before the 90-member panel a five-page alternative report blames its faulty implementation in the last decade for the drastic decline in CPI(M)’s strength nationally, apparently criticising the leadership of General Secretary Prakash Karat.
