CPI Warns of Threat to Constitution, Calls for Left Unity at Centenary Rally

New Delhi, December 27, 2025 (01:45 am IST) – The Communist Party of India (CPI) commemorated its 100th anniversary with a large rally in Kolkata on December 26, 2025, where party leaders voiced strong concerns about the state of Indian democracy and the rise of the BJP-RSS combine.

CPI General Secretary D. Raja delivered a scathing critique of the current political climate, asserting that the country’s parliamentary system is “becoming redundant” due to disruptions and lack of engagement. He accused the BJP-RSS of undermining the Constitution and threatening India’s unity as a federal nation.

“The BJP has no respect for the Constitution,” Raja stated, emphasizing the party’s alleged disregard for the Tricolour and constitutional framework. “The BJP-RSS combine is a threat not only to the Constitution but to the very existence of India as a nation.”

Raja used the occasion to call for a reunification of the Left movement, lamenting the divisions that persist despite the growing threat from what he termed “fascist forces.” He urged all communist factions to set aside their differences and unite to protect the nation’s foundational principles.

“When fascist forces are fracturing the country, how long can communists remain divided?” he questioned, reiterating the CPI’s long-standing appeal for a unified communist movement.

Looking ahead to the CPI’s 101st year, Raja pledged to strengthen the party’s commitment to building a “classless, casteless, socialist India.” He vowed to be at the forefront of the struggle against communal and fascist forces, working to ensure their removal from power.

The rally underscores the CPI’s continued relevance in Indian politics and its determination to challenge the ruling BJP’s agenda.
