'Meyeder Brigade' getting good response from women: CPI(M)

KOLKATA: (Nov 30) Leaving no stone unturned to regain people's support in Bengal's polarised political scenario, the CPI(M) is banking on an initiative named 'Meyeder Brigade' to draw women towards the party.

Claiming that women's security in Bengal is in jeopardy under the Trinamool Congress (TMC) rule, CPI(M) central committee member Samik Lahiri maintained that their rights are not assured across other parts of India "because of BJP's Manuvadi outlook."

Asserting that the formation of this group in different parts of the state is not about elections, he told PTI, "It is against both these forces that we are forming 'Meyeder brigade' across Bengal for women's empowerment," he said.
