Kolkata, Jan 7 (NationPress) The insufficient number of Hindi speakers has emerged as a significant obstacle for CPI(M) as they attempt to connect with the electorate in regions where the Hindi-speaking demographic represents a considerable portion of voters.

This situation has been documented in multiple internal reports following recent surveys conducted by the party.

The concentration of Hindi-speaking voters is notably high in areas of Kolkata such as Burrabazar, Posta, and Jorashanko. They also make up a substantial population in Barrackpore and Titagarh within the North 24 Parganas district, as well as in Asansol located in the West Burdwan district.

As the party gears up for an important central committee meeting scheduled for April, various organizational reports have pointed out shortcomings at the district level. This deficiency has been highlighted as a primary factor hindering party members' ability to engage with the public on critical matters, such as the horrific rape and murder of a woman doctor from the state-run R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata last August.

Insiders within the party acknowledged that despite numerous protest demonstrations across the state regarding the rape and murder case, the party members struggled to effectively interact with the community, preventing the protest movement from gaining a more organized and sustained presence at the local level.

Moreover, it has been noted in district-level reports that there exists a growing complacency among party comrades regarding the continuation of movements on various issues.

According to party sources, several area committees have become nearly inactive at the grassroots level, leading to discouragement among comrades in maintaining a sustained movement on pressing issues.

It remains to be seen how the party's central leadership will respond to these internal observations during the critical two-day central committee meeting scheduled in New Town from January 17 to January 19.

Additionally, on January 17, a research center named after the late Jyoti Basu, a nonagenarian Indian Marxist and former Chief Minister of West Bengal, will be inaugurated. The following day, the central committee is expected to formulate a political resolution for the upcoming party Congress, which may be adopted.

The party Congress is set to take place in April in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Before that, in February, the state conference of the party will be organized in one of the adjacent districts of Kolkata.
