In a powerful display of unity, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Andhra Pradesh convened its 27th conference, rallying against the rising tide of communalism and corporate favoritism. The conference, held in the historic town of Nellore from February 1 to 3, 2025, marked a significant moment in the state's political landscape. Over 360 delegates and observers from diverse backgrounds gathered to address pressing issues and chart a course for the future.
The event began with a symbolic gesture as the Red Flag was hoisted by P Madhu, a former CPI(M) state secretary. This act set the tone for the conference, emphasizing the party's commitment to its principles. The inaugural session, chaired by MA Gafoor, a Party Central Committee member, featured prominent leaders like Polit Bureau members MA Baby and BV Raghavulu, who passionately spoke against the BJP-RSS combine's communal agenda and the central government's authoritarian rule. They urged local parties to reconsider their alliances, warning of the BJP's detrimental impact on Andhra Pradesh's autonomy and resources.
The conference's agenda was comprehensive, addressing various concerns. Delegates discussed the infiltration of communal forces, the need for Left unity, and the importance of local struggles. A key resolution warned of the growing communal threat, emphasizing the urgency of a united front. The event also celebrated the state's rich political history, with the conference hall named after Comrade Sitaram Yechury and a memorial column honoring martyrs.
As the conference concluded, the newly elected state committee pledged to advance mass movements, echoing the sentiments of V Srinivasa Rao, who assured the delegates of their commitment to the cause. The event's impact extended beyond the conference hall, with a public rally and meeting in Nellore, where CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Brinda Karat criticized the central government's anti-people policies, further galvanizing public support for the Communist Party's mission.
