CPI does some introspection in draft resolution

In response, the resolution admits: 8216;8216;Actually there are vast tracts of India, where no party unit exists or are very weak. This is specially so in the sprawling Hindi belt and the western states.8217;8217;

In fact, self-introspection almost becomes self-depreciation when the party says: 8216;8216;One can take very good decisions, pass very correct political resolutions and give fine slogans. But unless party organisations exist and have live contacts with the masses, they will remain only on paper.8217;8217;

This partly establishes that the CPI is feeling a little desperate. And that is why, as in the previous party congress in Thiruvananthapuram, 2002, it has renewed the call for a unification of the two Communist parties. Already, the CPIM has explained that getting together will no longer be that simple. But CPI appears not to have given up hope. That desperation also come through when the CPI raises the issue of the middle classes 8212; an area which never figured in the scheme of things for either Communist parties. The CPI wants to expand. And probably the party8217;s think-tank believes that with its cultural superiority over CPIM it has a better chance to woo the middle class.

The CPI looks for several methods to expand its base: Party schools; party journals would be published for a larger readership.
