Report on Political Developments (Adopted at the Central Committee Meeting held on July 30-31, 2022) International Developments The global capitalist economic crisis is worsening. The bankruptcy of neo-liberalism in its inability to offer any solutions to overcome this crisis and for economic recovery is reconfirmed. On the contrary, despite this weak economic performance the neo-liberal dispensation enforces the continuation of the trajectory of profit maximisation leading to further widening of economic inequalities. World’s billionaires continue to amass greater wealth.

Summing Up

The BJP is on the offensive using and misusing state power to push its communal-corporate agenda. The secular opposition parties are unable to put up a convincing united fight even on agreed issues. As stated in the Party Congress resolution, the Congress party in the intervening period has further shown its inability to rally all the secular forces against the BJP. In such a situation it is essential for the Party to gear up its independent activities at all levels while making sincere efforts for Left unity. In this period in some States the party has successfully organised programmes and mobilisations along with other democratic and secular forces against the communalism of the BJP-RSS. These efforts should intensify. The Party must devote its energies in building up such struggles at the local and State level while simultaneously uniting people against the communal bulldozer politics of the BJP-RSS.
