Left to protest against BJP govt’s policies

CPI(M) will take to the streets to protest the ‘dilution’ of the rural employment guarantee scheme later this month as a precursor to nationwide agitation by all Left parties in December against the Narendra Modi government’s ‘anti-people’ policies. With new entrants like CPI(ML)- Liberation and Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) joining the four Left parties at the centre, several other parties and groups in states like West Bengal and Punjab, have recently united for holding week-long protests from 8-14 December in different parts of the country.
