Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 16 (BPNS)
The 24th party Congress of the CPI being held at Vijayawada had an interesting discussion with the Kerala delegates of the party calling for an open alliance with Congress at the national level. Delegates from the Kerala unit including Kerala minister for Agriculture, P. Prasad, and Editor of party mouthpiece ‘Janayugam’, Rajaji Mathew Thomas called for an alliance with the Congress at the national level during the 2024 Lok sabha elections.
The delegates from Kerala said that the alliance must take place much before the elections are announced. The leaders said that alliances with regional parties must also be stitched up ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Rajaji Mathew Thomas said that through such measures only a credible alternative to BJP could be formed. The CPI leaders also said that there should be open alliances and not hide and seek games like CPI-M was playing.
Meanwhile, the organizational report of the party has indicated the low presence of youths in the party and the CPI is taking steps to enforce strict measures on the upper age limit for party office bearers. The CPI is pitching for 75 as the cut-off age for the party office bearers.
