In the coming days, the cadre of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] in Keralam may just need a tap on their mobile phones to clear their ideological confusions.
Developing mobile/web applications to keep party activists updated on political issues is among the suggestions put forward by the participants during the open debate of the party’s ongoing extended State committee meeting in Kozhikode.
According to CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan, the proposal is to strengthen the continuous process of ideological education for the party cadre by including modern technological innovations into it. Special web and mobile applications need to be designed for the purpose, he says. “Suppose if comrades have doubts related to ideological or political issues, such apps can instantly come to their aid,” Mr. Govindan told the media in Kozhikode on Monday (September 14, 2026) afternoon.
