CPI(M) Launches Nationwide Campaign Against BJP Policies
The Communist Party of India (Marxist), or CPI(M), is very upset with the policies of the BJP-led government.
They had a big meeting in Kerala and decided to start a campaign all over India to fight against these policies.
They don't like new laws about work and farming, especially the new labor codes and the plan to replace a program that gives jobs to people in villages.
The party's leader, M A Baby, said they need to work together with other groups to stand up against these changes.
They also want to do well in the elections in 2026 in states like Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Assam.
The CPI(M) has a long history of fighting for the rights of people, including land rights and social justice, and they believe that their 100-year journey has set a benchmark for other parties.
They are calling for all parties dedicated to the Red Flag to unite and struggle together against the current government.
