Showcasing 'alternative to BJP' main agenda at CPI's national congress

The 24th national congress of the Communist Party of India (CPI) begins on Friday in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh with a call to dislodge the (Narendra) Modi government and save the country by showcasing an alternative to the BJP. Given their dominance in the current political scenario, the CPI wants the regional parties to come onto a single platform and defeat the BJP. "Presenting an alternative to the BJP will be the main agenda of our discussions at the party congress. We need to save the country from the BJP and unless we dislodge the Modi regime, there is no salvation," CPI general secretary D Raja remarked on the eve of the congress. It is after a gap of about three decades that Vijayawada once a bastion of the Left parties is playing host to the 97-year-old party's national congress. The five-day congress will begin with a mass rally and meeting on October 14, followed by the national executive and the national council meetings, according to the time table released by the .
