New Delhi: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) is facing a growing challenge of balancing its regional and national political stances, leading to contradictions that affect its credibility. The party often takes different positions on key political issues at the regional level compared to its national outlook, creating confusion among supporters and weakening its influence.
In states like Kerala, where CPM holds power, it adopts a pragmatic approach on governance, sometimes aligning with policies it opposes at the national level. This inconsistency has led to criticism from both political opponents and its own cadre.
Political analysts believe that unless CPM resolves these contradictions and establishes a clear, unified stance, it may struggle to maintain its relevance in India’s evolving political landscape.
