CPM Leadership Instructs Cadres to Exclude Tainted Individuals from House Visits
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPM has issued a clear directive to its cadres to exclude tainted personalities from house visits. This move comes as the party embarks on a door-to-door campaign to gather public opinion and suggestions following their recent defeat in local body polls.
The party leadership has issued a detailed circular to party units across the state, emphasizing the importance of maintaining integrity and trust during these visits. According to the directive, individuals with links to the soil mafia or real estate lobby should not be part of the house visiting teams. Additionally, those facing allegations related to cooperative banks, such as bank directors, and cadres involved in controversies over Kudumbasree projects should also be kept away.
The circular underscores the need for a clean and trustworthy representation of the party during these interactions with the public. “The presence of such individuals could undermine the credibility of our campaign and the trust of the people we are trying to engage with,” the directive states.
The party state secretariat has laid out a clear roadmap for conducting house visits. Cadres are instructed to behave in a manner befitting Communist workers. “While visiting houses, cadre should conduct themselves with respect and professionalism. If the family members raise allegations about the government or individual leaders, the visiting party workers should patiently listen and then hand over the notice in hand,” the directives specify.
Once the house visits are completed, the cadres are required to return to the party office, discuss the complaints and feedback received, and inform the district leadership. This structured approach aims to ensure that all grievances and suggestions are properly documented and addressed.
The CPM’s decision to exclude tainted individuals from house visits reflects a broader commitment to transparency and accountability. By doing so, the party hopes to rebuild trust with the public and demonstrate its commitment to addressing the issues that matter most to the community.
This initiative is part of a larger strategy to revitalize the party’s grassroots presence and regain the confidence of the electorate. The CPM leadership believes that by engaging in honest and meaningful conversations with the people, they can better understand their concerns and work towards effective solutions.
In conclusion, the CPM’s directive to exclude tainted individuals from house visits is a significant step towards ensuring a clean and credible campaign. By focusing on integrity and accountability, the party aims to reconnect with the public and lay the foundation for future success.
