The leaders of the parties – Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, Revolutionary Socialist Party and All India Forward Bloc – met on February 3, 2025 and discussed the Union Budget. They have issued the following statement:

Left Parties Call on Alternative Proposals for Budget

The Union Budget 2025-26 is a betrayal of the immediate and basic requirements of the people. Instead of addressing the problem of demand in the economy due to the lack of purchasing power in the hands of the people, mass unemployment and shrinking wages, the Modi government has, through the Budget, sought to stimulate the economy by giving concessions to the rich even as expenditures are cut. Instead of mobilizing resources by taxing the rich and the big corporate houses and expanding public investments that would help generate employment and ensure a minimum wage for people, it has chosen to do the opposite. The Budget promotes greater accumulation of wealth by promoting private investment, placing public assets at the service of the private sector and privatization of the power sector and so on.

The Union Budget completely neglects the issue of unemployment and expenditure on food subsidies, agriculture and allied activities, education, health, rural development, social welfare and urban development are stagnant or lower than last year, if one factors in inflation. The allocation for MNREGA remains stagnant at Rs. 86,000 crore, even as the demand has grown. The raising of the income tax exemption limit to Rs. 12 lakhs has provided relief to a section of the people, but a wider number of working people who are suffering from price rise and indirect taxes like GST have been left out. The loss suffered by raising the tax exemption limit could have been met by increasing the rates of taxation on the richer sections and the corporates. But the government has chosen not to do so and instead provided a bonanza to the corporate sector and the super-rich.

The Left parties reject all the anti-people proposals in the Budget and have resolved to demand that they be replaced by the following alternative proposals, which can help to create demand by increasing the purchasing power of the people, generate employment opportunities and raising wages. The alternative proposals will help to ensure the right of people to education, health and social security benefits.

The Left parties demand the introduction of the following proposals, which should find a place in the Finance Bill:

1) Introduce a wealth tax of 4 per cent on the 200 billionaires (in dollar terms) in the country; increase corporation tax.

2) Provide legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price for agricultural produce and withdraw the draft National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing.

3) Halt privatization of public sector units and handing over of public assets to the private sector through the National Monetisation Pipeline. Withdraw 100 per cent FDI in insurance sector.

4) Increase MNREGA allocation by 50 per cent; introduce urban employment guarantee Act; increase the Centre’s provision for old-age pensions and other social security benefits.

5) Increase outlays for health to 3 per cent of GDP and education to 6 per cent of GDP.

6) Increase food subsidy to strengthen public distribution system.

7) Increase allocation for SC, ST sector and for women and child development substantially, including increased outlay for ICDS; increase the Central share of the honorarium for scheme workers.

8 ) Increase transfers of funds to the states and funds for Centrally-sponsored schemes substantially. Scrap the cesses and surcharges on petroleum products which are not included in the divisible pool for sharing with states.

The Left parties will campaign for the inclusion of the above demands/proposals in the Union Budget before it is finally adopted through the Finance Bill. To mobilise the people in support of these proposals, the Left parties will conduct a week-long mass campaign from February 14 to 20. The state units of the Left parties will chalk out the plans to conduct mass campaign and reach the maximum number of people through door-to-door campaign, street corner meetings, demonstrations and rallies.

# The Syrian Communist Party, the Unified Syrian Communist Party, the Socialist Party of the Arab Resurgence, the Socialist Unionist Party and other socialist, anti-imperialist, and secular parties have been abolished by the new regime that forcibly seized power in the Syrian Arab Republic last December. Not only have they been denied freedom of assembly and expression, but their property has been confiscated, their democratically elected deputies have been relieved of their duties, and they cannot even reorganise under any other name. #

*Statement of the Syrian Communist Party*

No to Obscurantist Tyranny!
Together in the Struggle against Colonialists and their Henchmen!

Since its takeover of power in our homeland, Syria, on 8th December 2024, which was a result of a military offensive fully supported by colonialist members of the aggressive NATO, the obscurantist junta has begun a crackdown on our people’s social rights. Tens of thousands of workers have been laid off from state and public sector facilities, with many such facilities having been liquidated. Discrimination against citizens on the basis of belief and affiliation has been escalating, amidst continuing acts of kidnapping, assassination, burglary, looting and extortion.

On 29th January 2025 an expanded meeting was held among the leaders of armed groups - who owe their capture of most of the country to a mere historical coincidence rather than possessing any qualifications other than brute force - in which the obscurantists’ political tyranny became even more apparent, as attendants agreed to entrench an authoritarian rule. A single individual was granted absolute executive and legislative powers, forming a blatant dictatorship subordinate to the Turkish mandate. Notably, this grave step was preceded by numerous meetings with representatives of imperialist centers and reactionary Arab regimes, and in the constant presence of the Turkish guardian, indicating the decision was taken with the approval of these circles.

All promises of achieving, or at least taking steps towards, democratic freedoms were thrown in the garbage. The constitution of 2012 was abolished, rendering Syria a state without a constitution, to be governed by the whims of obscurantists and the interests of the forces backing them. Interestingly, the revoked constitution did not mention in any form a ruling party; rather, it stipulated general social rights, thus being an obstacle to turning Syria into a nest of reactionary, obscurantist forces and their masters. Turkish colonialism aims to achieve in Syria changes of an extremist, obscurantist nature, of which it is incapable in its own country.

The ominous meeting also took the decision to dissolve numerous patriotic parties, including the Syrian Communist Party. We regard this decision as a mere first step to be followed by more repression against all true patriotic and democratic forces.

Standing on its history of over a century of struggle in various circumstances, the Syrian Communist Party will not submit to this oppressive decision. It will continue to fight for the rights of the masses and to regain the independence and sovereignty of its homeland. As Syrian communists, we do not fear oppression or persecutions - as evidenced by our history. The Syrian people knows us for our firm commitment to our principles and integrity in our service to the people. In our view, the most urgent task at this grave stage is to work to unite forces of good in our country from all backgrounds to stand up to obscurantist tyranny and despotism.

Together in the Struggle for a Free Homeland and a Happy People!

Communist Party of India (Marxist) had applied a month ago for permission to hold a public meeting on January 29 at Swami Vivekananda Maidan Stadium in Agartala which was denied by the state government and then the party sought permission for another two venues including Umakanta School field, but that too was also rejected with out citing any reasons. BJP Goons were engaged in intimidating people who were supposed to participate in the rally and destroyed the flags, festoons, banners, and decorative gates put up in connection with the three-day state conference in various part of the state. Even the Government stopped vehicle movement from the Railway station to the rally meeting point. #CPIM24thPartyCongress #CPIMXXIVPartyCongress #CPIM24thConference #CPIM #MaduraiCongress #CPIMTripura
