Md Salim, the state secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in West Bengal, discussed the party's approach as the state prepares for assembly elections. He expressed concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, suggesting that it is being manipulated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) to instill fear among voters. Salim criticized the Election Commission for its lack of transparency and preparation, which he believes has led to public suffering. He reflected on the challenges faced during the 2021 elections, asserting that the CPI(M) has learned from past experiences and is implementing new strategies at the booth level. Salim also addressed the communal tensions being exploited by both the BJP and TMC, emphasizing the need for unity among communities. The party's agenda focuses on addressing unemployment, improving education, and tackling rural distress, with Salim expressing hope for a significant change in the upcoming elections, stating, 'You will see a miracle.'
