CPM FOR STATE-SPECIFIC ALLIANCES
The New Indian Express Kannur
|April 05, 2025
Past decision remains that no political alliance will be made with Congress, unless political situation demands
The CPM will formulate state-specific political understandings — akin to that of the Left Democratic Front in Kerala — of secular parties, to take on the BJP. As decided in the past, there won't be any political alliance with the Indian National Congress anywhere. However, at the time of elections, depending on the political situation there can be understanding with parties including the Congress.
The Party Congress on Friday gave its nod for the political resolution, which is more or less in line with the draft resolution. "Platforms of left and democratic parties, similar to that of the LDF in Kerala, will be formed across the country, based on prevailing political situation at the regional level, to prevent erosion of anti-BJP votes. Congress can be part of an understanding during the elections," said sources.
