The Opposition CPM held its state committee meeting on Monday where matters relating to organizational strategy and revival before the ensuing assembly elections were discussed in threadbare. The party also dwelt extensively on its present political condition in the tribal areas from where it once had emerged as a formidable force but, of late, faced a steady and serious erosion of base.
The CPM also discussed the present political scenario under the BJP-IPFT rule as well as the opportunities that might be explored in the wake of Biplab Kumar Deb’s resignation and resultant confusion among the ruling party workers.
