Maharashtra Assembly Elections:
After Haryana elections, it seems, opposition political parties in Maharashtra are consciously trying to learn some lesson! They are trying to unite under Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi front to defeat 'BJP-led Mahayuti-NDA state government at all costs.' They are also conscious of their unity in J&K assembly election which concluded with positive results. But again, main question remains unanswered for regional opposition and progressive/communist parties: how to set unity with main national opposition party Congress on ground level?..
Go through the following statement of 'Progressive Parties' about declared Maharashtra Assembly Elections:
Large State Convention of Progressive Parties in Pune Calls on MVA to be Inclusive to Ensure Defeat of BJP-NDA in Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha Polls
A large 2,000-strong jam-packed statewide convention was organised by the progressive parties in Maharashtra at Pune on 16 October 2024, just a day after the ECI announced 20 November as the polling date for Maharashtra.
The Pune convention sent the following clear three-point message:
1. Its primary aim is to ensure the resounding defeat of the BJP-led Mahayuti-NDA state government at all costs.
2. To ensure this, the MVA-INDIA bloc must clearly declare and implement pro-people alternative policies in all spheres.
3. The MVA must adopt an inclusive approach in seat-sharing with the progressive parties and give them their just share.
The large number of participants had been mobilised by the progressive parties from various districts of Maharashtra. But the lion's share was no doubt the massive CPI(M)-led contingent from Solapur district. The CPI(M) in Pune had made excellent preparations for the convention despite just one day's notice.
The convention was addressed by Narasayya Adam, ex-MLA, and Vinod Nikole, MLA (CPI-M), Jayant Patil, ex-MLC (PWP), Subhash Lande (CPI), Anis Ahmed (SP), Ajit Patil (CPI-ML), Kishor Dhamale (Satyashodhak Communist Party), Shyam Gaikwad (Progressive Republican Party), and Medha Thatte (Lal Nishan Party).
Dr Ashok Dhawale made the concluding speech. Dr Uday Narkar introduced and conducted the proceedings. Ajit Abhyankar welcomed the participants and moved the condolence resolution paying homage to Sitaram Yechury and Buddhadeb Bhattacharya (CPI-M), Atul Kumar Anjan (CPI), and Meenakshi Patil (PWP). The convention began with revolutionary songs by the Praja Natya Mandal from Solapur.
The convention was presided over by Mariam Dhawale (CPI-M), Ram Baheti (CPI), Adv Raju Korde (PWP), Vithal Satav (SP), and R T Gavit (SCP).
Progressive literature worth over Rs 7,000 was briskly sold in the convention. It included the special issue of the CPI(M) state Marathi weekly 'Jeewanmarg' paying tribute to Sitaram Yechury.
The successful convention was followed by a well-attended press conference at the Pune Shramik Patrakar Bhawan.
