The text of the Central Committee’s statement issued on March 6, after its meeting on March 4 and 5, has been reproduced elsewhere in this issue.
THE Central Committee heard reports about the preparations being made for the elections in West Bengal, Kerala, Tamilnadu, Assam and Puducherry. The Central Committee called upon the people of West Bengal and Kerala to ensure the victory of the Left Front and the Left Democratic Front. The Congress and its TMC and UDF allies should be defeated as they are responsible for the acute price rise, massive corruption and attacks on the livelihood of the people. The Left Front of West Bengal and the LDF government of Kerala have stood out for the implementation of pro-people policies and safeguarding the interests of the working people.
The Central Committee approved the electoral tactics worked out for fighting the elections in Tamilnadu, Puducherry and Assam.
