'Objective conditions of building peoples' movements are budding in West Bengal. The task is to build up the subjective factor by strengthening Party's relationship with the people'. This was the main thrust of district conferences of CPI(M) in West Bengal.
Till the first week of January, 2012, conferences in 11districts out of 19 have been concluded. The first was in South Dinajpur, followed by Darjeeling, North Dinajpur, Maldaha, Nadia, Murshidabad, Burdwan, Bankura, Birbhum, Purulia and Kolkata. These conferences, being held in a new political situation, were exercises in detailed introspection of Party's activities, its relationship with the people, the mistakes and deficiencies in implementing political programme. Everywhere the self critical attitude prevailed and urgent need to reorient Party's activities according to the needs of the situation was emphasized. At the same time, the experiences of seven months of TMC Government were summarized. It was noted that the initial euphoria of "change" was gradually giving in to discontent and dissatisfaction among the people. This was particularly evident in rural areas where the peasantry was facing serious problem of distress sale of major crops like paddy, jute and potato. A feeling of disgruntlement was also evident in educational institutions where whims of the ruling party have created a reign of anarchy. The working people were facing hardship from policies of the new Government. The necessity to strengthen bond with people to give voice to these displeasures was the call of the day.
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee underlined the task while inaugurating the Kolkata district conference. He said, 'the objective conditions of a change in adverse situation is gradually coming into fore in international and national scenario. The votaries of capitalism and market economy are now in deep trouble. After the demise of USSR, it was told that capitalism had no alternative. But now that same capitalism is reeling under crisis. UPA Government, pursuing neo liberal policies has contributed in aggravating the problems of poverty, hunger and illiteracy. It has also invited new type of corruption. The inequality is accentuating thereby creating conditions for intensification of contradictions. UPA Government will surely become alienated from the people". Explaining the situation in West Bengal Bhattacharjee said, "Peoples' experience in last seven months has led them gradually to the path of protest in different spheres. It is true that there was a severe shift of political balance of forces in the state. A large section of people has shifted from the camp of the Lefts. The time has come when the Lefts have to win over the people again. The subjective condition of organizing bigger protests is to build up the Party, rectifying the mistakes. The Communist Party must build itself in the manner in which people want to see them. It will only be possible if the Party workers work incessantly among the people and raise their political consciousness.''
Biman Basu, while intervening in the discussion in Purulia and Bankura, has emphasized the need to revitalize Party organizations at all levels with the aim of mobilizing people in broader movement. "Thousands of Party workers have been attacked, rendered homeless and more than 50 have been killed in last seven months, but they have not left the Party", asserted Basu.
