On the Programme of the CPI
Marxist, XXXII 1, January–March 2016
For a Communist Party, its Programme, which encompasses the strategic goals of the Party, and thus covers an entire stage of the revolution, is an important and basic document.

The month long Nava Kerala march with the theme of a “corruption free and secular progressive Kerala” got underway today from Uppala, the northen tip of Kerala in Kasargode district.
Com. Prakash Karat, Member of the Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) in his speech at the valedictory session of the International Congress of Kerala Studies said that the alternative proposal for the future development of Kerala should be drafted by considering the global and national scenario and the limitations, the neo-liberal policies had imposed on us. The Global financial system has not yet completely recovered from the 2007-08 recession. The negative effects of the recession are still lingering in the developed and developing nations. The prices of oil and oil products have fallen by 70%.
The Political Tactical Line of the 21st Congress
The Congress adopted the Draft Political Resolution after a reply to the discussion by Prakash Karat. Altogether 44 delegates had participated in the discussion.
The CC discussed about current political situation. It noted that the three ordinances issued recently reveal the true character of the Modi government. Bowing to the demands of corporate lobby to dilute the Land Acquisition Act, it issued the ordinance bypassing the parliament. Similarly Coal Ordinance. The CPI(M) will join hands with all other political parties and organisations that are opposed to these ordinances and build a nationwide movement against these measures.
No difference between Congress and BJP in implementing LPG policies and it represents the twin offensive of the corporates and the Hindutva forces.
The causes for the communal violence are the same as in the past – religious processions moving through mixed areas and provocations taking place; allegations of harassment of young women belonging to a particular community by persons of another community; inflammatory propaganda which leads to a climate of mistrust and any incident can spark off a wider conflict. But what is more disturbing is that riots are sought to be spread in the rural areas as it happened in Muzaffarnagar. In all such riots, it is the minority community which ultimately bears the brunt of the violence in terms of deaths and destruction of property.
