The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement on October 25, 2026.

FACED with growing protests over the large-scale electoral malpractices initiated by the supposedly neutral umpire, the Election Commission of India, which clearly favours the BJP, the government and the ruling party have gone berserk. Like a drowning man clutching at straws, the ruling party and its army of social media foot soldiers are pulling out the charge of regime change. Obviously, the desperation betrays the efforts to distract from the substance which has galvanised the protests.

ON Sardar Patel’s 151st birth anniversary on October 31, it is worthwhile to look at the relations between him and the RSS/BJP. Why does the RSS/BJP appear to favour Patel so much? And what were his views about the RSS?

The efforts by RSS/BJP to appropriate Patel have intensified since Modi came to power. Propaganda is being carried out that if Patel had become Prime Minister, the fate of the country would have been different. It is claimed that injustice was done to Patel and that Nehru was jealous of him, and so on.

THE Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) has naturally emerged as a serious concern for the indigenous communities of the Upper Siang, Siang, and East Siang districts of Arunachal Pradesh. Conceived in 2008 as India’s largest hydropower project, the 11,200 MW project, proposed across three districts of the Siang Valley, is now being projected as a strategic countermeasure to China’s similar plans upstream.

IN his foundational critiques of political economy, Karl Marx laid bare the essential dialectic of human existence. Mankind does not merely exist as an abstract biological entity. We actively produce, refashion, and discover our own nature through conscious, physical interaction with the material world. Labour, in its unalienated essence, is a creative process whereby sensory experience, trial, error, emotional friction, and reflective contemplation give birth to genuine human consciousness.
