Communist Party of India (M): Draft Political Resolution Prepared for 24th Congress in April

Adopted at the Central Committee Meeting held on January 17-19, 2025

Introduction

 0.1 The period since our 23rd Congress was marked by a growing conflict between the forces of the Hindutva-corporate regime, represented by the Modi government and the secular-democratic forces who were opposed to it. The push to impose a reactionary Hindutva agenda and the authoritarian drive to suppress the opposition and democracy shows neo-fascist characteristics. The CPI(M) and the Left parties consistently opposed the communal-corporate policies of the Central government. Workers, peasants and other sections of the working people waged united struggles to defend their livelihoods and economic rights.

0.2  The  Central Parliament (Lok Sabha) election of May 2024 resulted in a setback for the Modi’s BJP; this party lost its majority in the Central Parliament and faces a strengthened opposition in Parliament. However, the third term of the Modi government is seeing a continuation of the Hindutva neo-liberal agenda of the BJP-RSS alliance. The results have opened up space for wider resistance to the pro-corporate Hindutva policies of the Modi government, both outside and inside the Parliament.

0.3  In the past three years, the Modi government has reinforced its strategic ties with the United States. Foundational agreements for military collaboration have been completed and it is increasingly aligned with US geopolitical interests in the Asia-Pacific region, as seen in its participation in the QUAD and its shameful support for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. All these developments must be seen in the context of global developments and geopolitical relations, which have a direct bearing on our national situation in India.
