Family gatherings begin in Keralam’s Kozhikode ahead of CPI(M)’s three-day extended State conference from Sept. 13

Family gatherings have begun in Kozhikode district, Keralam, ahead of the three-day extended State committee meeting of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)], scheduled to be held in Kozhikode city from September 13.

The main agenda of the meeting, which is expected to have all the features of a State conference, according to sources, is to discuss the debacle of the Left Democratic Front and the CPI(M) in the recent Assembly elections and devise ways to rejuvenate the cadre. Deliberations on the issue have already been completed at all levels of the party, from the branch level to the State committee.

A review report brought out recently by the Central Committee, based on a report approved by the State committee, says that “party committee members at all levels were asked to speak freely and frankly, while the leaders from the higher committee heard their opinions without commenting.”
