Thrissur: The CPM organizational report stated that the poor people of the society are not with the party anymore. Majority of the destitute were supporting the party but it is changing now. This has to be examined seriously, said the report.

The number of party members keep increasing as time passes but there is quality degradation. CPM is not growing into an independent power. The growing influence of BJP poses threat immensely. It has to be prevented by propagating secular ideologies and science and technology and also organizing protests, the report said.

CPI is the next state-wide influential party after CPM in LDF. Other parties are influential in some centres only. So, the popular base of the party should be improved. The report also pointed out that the individual desires to achieve positions in the party is a violation of the party rules. Such unhealthy tendencies seeped into lower levels from the leadership.

Some issues in connection with attempt to achieve positions were raised during the 2016 elections also. When such issues arise, people forget the help and positions given by the party. They utilize the situation to challenge the party. This tendency cannot be tolerated, said the report.
