CPI(M)’s 24th All India Conference: A Dialogue with Comrade Pala Bharathi, MLA, Writer, and People's Activist
As the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] prepares for its 24th All India Conference, an engaging dialogue is set to take place with Comrade Pala Bharathi, a three-time MLA, writer, poet, and dedicated people's activist. The discussion will delve into her life journey, political experiences, and his perspective on the role of the CPI(M) in the legislative assembly.
Comrade Pala Bharathi’s journey is deeply rooted in her humble beginnings. Born into an agricultural family, his early life was marked by struggles and a strong sense of community service. Her father, a respected village leader and teacher, played a significant role in shaping his values. Bharathi recalls how her father, after serving as a teacher for 12 years, became a panchayat leader and worked tirelessly to bring a school to their village. This early exposure to grassroots activism and education laid the foundation for her political career.
Bharathi’s entry into politics was influenced by his experiences as a teacher and her involvement in social issues. She vividly remembers the challenges faced by rural communities, including water scarcity, poverty, and social inequalities. These experiences fueled her passion for social justice and led her to join the CPI(M). Her commitment to the cause of the working class, farmers, and marginalized communities has been unwavering.
During the dialogue, Bharathi will share insights into her legislative work, particularly his efforts to address issues like water scarcity, housing, and workers' rights. He will also discuss the importance of grassroots mobilization and the role of the CPI(M) in advocating for social and economic justice. Bharathi’s journey from a village teacher to a prominent political leader is a testament to her dedication to the principles of equality and justice.
The discussion will also touch upon the broader challenges faced by the CPI(M) in today’s political landscape. Bharathi will reflect on the need for unity among left forces and the importance of addressing contemporary issues like unemployment, agrarian distress, and social inequality. He will emphasize the party’s commitment to building a society based on socialist principles, where the rights of all citizens are protected.
As the CPI(M) gears up for its 24th All India Conference, this dialogue with Comrade Pala Bharathi promises to be an inspiring and thought-provoking session. His life and work serve as a reminder of the power of grassroots activism and the enduring relevance of CPI(M)’s ideals in the fight for a just and equitable society.
