Seven Left parties held a joint convention in Bengaluru on Saturday for a discussion on ‘Alternative policies of the Left and secular forces for a peaceful and progressive Karnataka.’ A book on the same theme was also released.
The parties that participated were CPI (M), CPI, SUCI (C), CPI (ML), All India Forward Block, RPI and Swaraj India, according to a release.
U. Basavaraju, State Secretary of the CPI(M), pointed out that amid the grandeur of the 75th year of Indian Independence, one cannot ignore the harsh reality of the people of the country. In the name of development, though hundreds of crores have been spent, inequality was still glaring everywhere.
