AGARTALA / KOLKATA, Jan 19 (TIWN): CPI-M’s central committee meeting has begun on Friday for long three days at Kolkata.

A reliable source said that CPI-M will discuss on whether to go or not to go with the Congress. 

The meeting assumes added significance amid the buzz that party leaders are trying their best to avoid a vote on the two largely differing opinions on how to take on the BJP, which the party has already identified as its prime opponent.

Tripura CM Manik Sarkar is also attending the meeting.

The CC meeting, which starts on Friday, is the last before the scheduled party congress of the CPI (M) in April this year in Hyderabad and is likely to finalise its draft political resolution for adoption at the congress. The resolution would pave the political route the party is expected to follow in the run-up to the general elections scheduled next year.
