New Delhi : Evidently, the central leadership of the CPM has diluted its independent stance in relation to the ideological positions of the two ruling Communist parties in Russia and China The CPM leadership has now certainly tilted completely in favour of the Soviet Union against China This is sharply reflected in the draft political resolution adopted by the CPI(M)’s Central Committee at its meeting in Delhi between October 26 and 31 this year for the 11th Party Congress to be held in Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh from January 26 to 31 next year.
