Communist Party of India general secretary Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy has given call for reunification of the Left parties, saying it was the need of the hour.
At a press conference here on Tuesday on his return from Nagpur where he attended the party’s National Council meeting, Mr. Reddy said it was agreed that fresh inroads were needed to be made on taking the proposal forward.
“We are confident of progress on this front and the confidence stems from the fact that leaders in the CPI (M) are now giving a serious thought to this idea. Earlier, they had rejected the proposal outright,” Mr. Reddy pointed out.
“An important resolution adopted is that we need to continue with struggles on various issues plaguing the people. We are not looking at it politically. For the next three years, we will address the emerging dissatisfaction among people on government functioning,” Mr. Reddy declared.
He said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had come to power riding on people’s dissatisfaction over the performance of the United Progressive Alliance I and II.
“But the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done nothing to erase this dissatisfaction,” he rued.
