CPI(M) Launches Rectification Campaign After Kerala Poll Defeat Addressing Internal Issues
The CPI(M) has initiated a rectification campaign following its defeat in the Kerala Assembly polls, focusing on addressing 'parliamentary aberrations,' weak adherence to the mass line, and lack of collective functioning. Party General Secretary M.A. Baby emphasized examining these issues within leadership and improving grassroots connections. A questionnaire has been circulated among leaders, and further evaluation is planned at the Central Committee meeting in October. The party denies internal leadership conflicts over the poll setback reasons.
