CPI (M) to rejuvenate party in Odisha

BHUBANESWAR: “The Communist Party of India (Marxist) would rejuvenate its Odisha unit by incorporating young activists and determined workers,” said CPI (M) politburo member and Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Dr Suryakanta Mishra addressing party workers here on Saturday.

Dr Mishra while analysing post-election situation said they have experienced mixed results in the recently ended General Election 2014. Taking the benefit of collective anger against Congress’s misrule and corruption, the right wing party BJP got the thumping majority which would help the corporate world to loot the country. But their party would not allow the right wing party’s economic policy and caste politics in the country, he added. 

In Odisha context, Dr Mishra said they would create several cadres of party workers to take party’s works forward. “Though we have won a single Assembly seat in the Assembly polls-2014, we have the capacity to increase the number of the seats in the next elections with the help of our workers,” he added.

He said that senior leaders should begin their social activism by engaging grassroots-level workers to raise local issues in order to stay connected with the common people. “Instead of finding faults in party workers, inspire them to do well,” the senior leader said, adding, “We have to convert the people’s support in tribal areas into votes and for which we need to win their heart.”

Dr Mishra said they would sensitise the common people about the ruling party’s anti-people policy and displacement tactics to help corporate houses and other issues through popular movements and agitations.
