The Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation’s leaders, including General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, met with RJD supremo Lalu Prasad on Monday. A statement from the party reveals that Prasad praised the CPI(ML) Liberation for its role in unifying opposition parties ahead of the 2024 Parliament elections.
According to the statement, Prasad also described the Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar as an example of opposition unity in taking on the BJP. He accused the BJP of attempting to break the country by dividing people along religious lines.
The meeting comes amidst growing political tensions in Bihar, with allegations of obstruction and intimidation being made against the ruling party. The opposition parties have been working to rally together and challenge the BJP’s hold on power.
The CPI(ML) Liberation has been particularly active in this effort, working to unite various left-wing groups and create a strong anti-BJP coalition. Their efforts appear to be gaining traction, as more and more opposition parties are joining the coalition.
The meeting with Lalu Prasad is a significant development in this process, as he is one of the most prominent opposition leaders in the country. His endorsement of the CPI(ML) Liberation is likely to bring more support to the coalition and help it gain momentum.
Overall, the meeting demonstrates the growing importance of opposition unity in Indian politics. As the BJP continues to consolidate its power, the opposition parties are coming together in a bid to challenge its dominance. Whether they will be successful remains to be seen, but the CPI(ML) Liberation and its allies are certainly putting up a spirited fight.
