The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) has decided to attend the upcoming INDIA bloc meeting, despite expressing significant concerns regarding a 'systematic campaign' against its leadership during the Keralam Assembly elections. John Brittas, a member of Parliament, will represent the party at the meeting. CPI(M) general secretary MA Baby has addressed a letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, seeking clarification on allegations made by Congress leaders that suggested a collusion between CPI(M) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Baby emphasized that such claims undermine the unity of the INDIA bloc, which was established to oppose the BJP. He pointed out that these allegations were not mere election rhetoric but central to the Congress campaign, involving prominent leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. Baby also questioned the implications of Gandhi's calls for action against CPI(M) leaders, suggesting they could be seen as an invitation for punitive measures by the Modi government. Despite these tensions, CPI(M) remains committed to cooperating with the INDIA bloc in Parliament to challenge the government's policies.
