According to party sources, two draft resolutions are likely to be considered in the meeting.
One draft is expected to favour the adjustment with the Congress to counter the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and it also proposes that the party should be open to a UPA-1 like political adjustment when the party had extended support to the Congress government at the Centre from outside.
It is also learnt that the other draft is against any adjustment with any party and proposed the unity of the Left parties in the country to fight against the BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). But, CPI-M’s senior leader Khagen Das has taken last breath today early morning at Kolkata.
