Lingsugur: The Raichur District Conference of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Star was held with great success today at Lingsugur town. The important conference was organized with a firm resolve to further strengthen revolutionary struggles in the coming days to defend the rights of the working people and address the country’s present political and social situation.
Senior party leader Comrade M.D. Amir Ali formally inaugurated the conference by hoisting the party’s red flag. This was followed by the collective singing of inspiring revolutionary songs reflecting the current social conditions and the necessity of struggle, adding a cultural dimension to the gathering.
Thereafter, the main session of the conference, the Delegates’ Session, commenced. Comrade M.D. Amir Ali warmly welcomed all office-bearers and delegates who had arrived from various taluks and villages of Raichur district.
For the smooth and orderly conduct of the conference, a presidium consisting of key comrades was constituted. Leaders M. Gangadhar, D.K. Lingsugur, Tipparaj and Mabusab jointly presided over the proceedings and ensured the successful conduct of the session. A minutes committee was also formed to record the proceedings, with Adesh Naganur, Niranjan Kumar and Basavaraj Badiger actively discharging the responsibility.
Party State Secretary Comrade B. Rudrayya inaugurated the conference and presented a detailed assessment of the organizational achievements and shortcomings of the party. In his keynote address, he sharply criticized the policies of the present ruling class. He warned that attempts to amend the Constitution according to the wishes of those in power pose a threat to democratic aspirations of the people. He pointed out that the ever-rising prices of essential commodities and the growing unemployment affecting the youth have severely burdened the common people.
One of the most important sessions of the conference featured Comrade R. Manasayya, Polit Bureau member of the party, who presented the party’s official documents, including the political resolution and future programme, and led an extensive discussion.
He put forward important ideological perspectives, stating:
> “The Communist Party should not merely remain a forum for discussions; it must become a strong fortress of the oppressed classes and mass organizations. In India, neither reformism nor mechanical Maoism can bring about change. There is a necessity for a People’s Democratic Revolution suited to India’s specific conditions. It is essential to formulate a revolutionary path by understanding the deeply rooted old agrarian system, the present miserable condition of the working class, and the complex caste system prevailing in the country.”
He called upon the delegates to make the forthcoming State Conference and the All-India Congress of the party a grand success. Extending revolutionary greetings to all, he informed the gathering that international seminars on three major contemporary issues—imperialism, fascism and caste annihilation—would be organized during the forthcoming All-India Congress.
Subsequently, M.D. Amir Ali presented the Raichur District Political Report, which was actively discussed by the delegates. A new 15-member District Committee was elected, and M.D. Amir Ali was unanimously elected as the District Secretary.
Party delegates and activists who had arrived from all corners of Raichur district actively participated in the conference and contributed to its success.
