Leftists will hold a strike against the Centre's anti-public interest policy. Strikes have been called across the country on November 26. Ten labor organizations and federations are joining the strike. Peasants and farm laborers from the Left party are also joining the strike.

While many are skeptical about the effectiveness of the Left-Congress alliance in the 2021 assembly elections, the CPI(M) has come as a surprise in the just-concluded elections in Bihar.
