Within a month, the party aims to engage all 10 lakh members through a series of meetings at both the state and district levels, and to implement key decisions taken at its recent party congress. The CPM also plans to actively highlight and remind the public of the reforms it introduced in the states where it governed for years.

Meetings have already taken place in two states—Punjab and Kerala.
