Under the leadership of Communist Party of India (ML)[People’s War] revolutionary masses formed People’s Army (PGA) and are making People’s War. The struggle of the revolutionary masses of DK fighting for the past two and a half decades is inseparable from the Indian New Democratic Revolution.

They are weakening and destroying the exploiting state power in the village (local) level and establishing New Democratic Revolutionary power in the form of janathana sarkars. They are becoming more and more enlightened in the process of People’s War under the leadership of the proletarian Party and are gaining experiences.

They are organizing new power in the village level and are determined to form it in the area level. In the light of theory of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism the CPI(ML)[PW] adopted the fundamental program of New Democratic Revolution. Depending on this SZC is adopting the common minimum program for the janathana sarkar (JS) keeping the specific social conditions and the level of movement in view.

The JS shall be the newly formed People’s Democratic state and the power of a government. This power shall attain a complete character and a form, with the formation of countrywide People’s Democratic Republic federation. Depending on the common minimum program prepared by the Party the janathans sarkars forming in the process of development of revolutionary struggle in DK shall make efforts to implement the people’s government power as the new state power.

They are forming organs of people’s democratic power in the area level to establish guerilla base areas with the aim of making Dandakaranya a Liberated Area. Depending on the local JS the Area Janathana Sarkar (AJS) shall introduce People’s Democracy in the area level.

The JS shall bear the fundamental task of organizing and expanding the new state power, run the revolutionary war and mobilize the masses in the war. The protection, organizing and expansion of the JS depend on the intensification of People’s War.

The JS shall strengthen and expand in the process of formation of higher military formations, intensification of guerilla war and destroying, defeating and eliminating the enemy forces. The strengthening and expansion of JS will lead to the formation of Liberated Areas and go in the direction of seizure of power countrywide. This process of coordination shall depend on the international and national political conditions and the stage of People’s War. Of all the state powers in India this revolutionary people’s representative assemblies (viplava praja prathinidhula sabhalu) and their revolutionary people’s committees (viplava praja committeelu) are the highest and genuine democratic systems.

They strive to strengthen the power of area level proletarian leadership, agricultural laborer and poor peasantry and the power of anti feudal, anti imperialist, anti Comprador Bureaucratic Bourgeois forces, with the aim of making DK a Liberated area with the objective of New Democratic Revolution. They will encourage the initiative, creativity and collectivity of the broad peasant masses in People’s War, organise them, depend on them totally, learn from them and lead them in the forefront.

They make serious efforts to develop people’s war so as to help the developing people’s upsurge in the respective levels. Depending on the People’s Democratic state power – tasks of the government declared in the program of CPI(ML)[PW], we put here in detail the fundamental policies and tasks of People’s Democratic government as the first part of the program of the JS.

We formulated this policy program keeping in view the circulars, guidelines and duties the Central Committee and DKSZC released earlier. DKSZC CPI(ML)[PW] June 1st 2004 Janathana Sarkar Introduction We are now forming janathana sarkars successfully as a result of the great struggles the Dandakaranya revolutionary masses are taking up to successfully go forward with the ultimate aim of establishing Socialism-Communism by destroying the semi colonial, semi feudal system in India through People’s War and establishing People’s Democratic system.

We are declaring the necessary policy program. This policy program shall be implemented across Dandakaranya wherever the janathana sarkars are formed. Where they are not yet formed and serious efforts are going on for their formation, that is, in the guerilla zones, this shall be the basis of struggle. In the areas where revolutionary movement is expanding newly, that is, in the perspective areas this shall be the issue of propaganda.

Second part

Structure of the government

Name

Janathana sarkar

Flag

Hammer and sickle with red flag with the length and breadth of the ratio 2:3.

Song

Must sing communist international in front of the flag.

Formation of government

Village Janathana sarkars may be formed in areas of 500-3000 population.

Structure of the government

People will elect the people’s assemblies/representatives assemblies on the basis of general adult vote in the village/town, area, district/division, special zone/state levels in revolutionary bases formed in the process of the ongoing People’s War.

The committees elected through these assemblies shall work as the revolutionary governments. The revolutionary government shall be absolutely in the hands of the masses. The supreme people’s Congress of the Federation of the People’s Democratic Republic in the all India level or the Central level after achieving countrywide success in considerable areas in the country shall be the highest organ of the government.

After the People’s War achieves success in Dandakaranya or in a considerable area of dandakaranya, autonomous government will be formed. The present Dandakaranya consists of South Bastar, West Bastar, North Bastar, Maad and Gadchiroli divisions. The majority masses in this area are suffering with exploitation and misery for generations together. The natural development process took a distorted turn. The adivasis are still in the pre feudal production relationships. So the Dandakaranya people’s government shall work as their autonomous government and provide special opportunities for their development.

Election of government

All adults those who have the age of 18 years will participate in elections. One needs to complete 20 years to be elected. Landlords, anti people hierarchs, stooges of exploiting government and anti revolutionary forces are disqualified to participate in elections. The elections are held through secret ballot.

Election commission will conduct the elections. The elected representatives shall be answerable to the people’s assemblies or the representative’s assemblies that they represent. If the elected representatives do not conduct their duties properly the people’s assemblies/representative assemblies can call them back.

The people’s assemblies/representative assemblies can call the representatives back only with a 2/3rds majority. The president and the vice-president of the autonomous governments shall be from the masses, reflecting the aspirations of the majority masses.

Minority nationalities and tribes from other areas shall have proper representation according to their population in the autonomous areas. The rest of the adivasis must be considered as local adivasis.

People from workers, peasants, petty bourgeois class and national bourgeois class constitute the government. This will be formed as the revolutionary United Front government.

This will exercise the power as a genuine democratic government. Now we are forming organs of revolutionary government in a secret manner. So it is not possible to elect revolutionary people’s governments with direct elections in the place of exploiting class governments from the village to upper level.

We can conduct elections through the people’s representative assemblies in a limited number in such conditions. In all levels, the people’s assemblies in the people’s assemblies/people’s representatives in the representative assemblies will elect the revolutionary people’s governments. These governments will establish various government departments, their responsible persons and mechanism to conduct the administrative responsibilities. They will make the necessary laws.

Coming to the higher level autonomous governments, they shall make acceptable decisions reflecting the aspirations of the masses regarding the language, culture and development. Normally these decisions will not be mandatory orders to be implemented. The autonomous governments can ratify them with certain exceptions and amendments.

On the other hand the autonomous governments shall view the development of their areas and future as a part of the development and future of the whole country and implement the decisions of the high level government.
