Fresh from his re-election as the chief of Communist Party of India (Marxist), Sitaram Yechury on Wednesday said that the just concluded 23rd party congress has zeroed on the alleged challenge posed by theBJP and its alleged hindutva ideology, which must be defeated.
The party congress of the CPI (M) is the highest policy making body. It is held once every three years to lay down the roadmap for keeping the current and extent political climes in the country.
The party congress, which was held from April 6-10 at Kannur in Kerala, adopted a political resolution with regard to BJP.
The party congress elected 85-member central committee which re-elected Yechury as CPI (M)'s General Secretary, and a 17-Member politburo.
"The party congress, through its political resolution, identified itsmain task as being that of "isolating and defeating the BJP", which is aggressively advancing the hindutva communal agenda of the fascistic RSS," Yechury said while briefing reporters on the resolutions and policies advocated by it.
"The BJP government has mounted a multi-pronged attackthrough the pursuit of rabid neo-liberal reforms strengthening the communal-corporate nexus, looting of national assets, promoting crony capitalism, legalising political corruption and imposing full-fledged authoritarianism," CPI (M) leader said.
"In order to achieve the objective of isolating and defeating the BJP, it is imperative that the independent strength of the CPI (M) grows significantly enabling its political intervention capacities to be more effective," Yechury said.
The party congress has also decided to strengthen the unity ofthe Left forces and to forge the Left and Democratic front.
As many as 22 resolutions were adopted to highlight and amplify CPI (M) stand on various urgent issues.
