Statewise political strategies need to maximise the unity of secular-democratic parties against the Hindutva fascist forces ahead of 2024 elections, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury has said.
Speaking on the ‘Challenges faced by Federalism’ at the EMS Smriti programme held at Regional Theatre here on Wednesday, he said the unity of secular-democratic parties was imperative to safeguard the country from transforming into a radical Hindu Rashtra.
“In India, every State has its own political situation. Strategies to unite secular democratic parties may be different in different States. The first priority is to stop the rise of the BJP, guided by the fascist RSS. If you do not stop the fascist forces as they are advancing, you are actually collaborating with them.”
