CPI-M Will tell members what to like, share on social media

February 25, 2017 12:37

The Communist Party of India-Marxist will now tell its members what they can like, write, follow or share on social media. Just to give you an idea, there are roughly one million party members in the country the figure was 10,48,678 in 2015.

Discussions on social media within the CPM have so far been centred around how best to use its immense potential, especially to reach the young. It was also about convincing the older lot that taking to social media posts, likes, shares on Facebook and Twitter has nothing to do with losing touch with the grassroots and the poor.

Over the last few years, a section of the senior party leadership has been struggling to convince the conservative and orthodox members that their party was missing out on a lot by not using social media like other political parties (and their leaders), such as the BJP, Congress and Trinamool Congress.
