The party will also finalise its manifesto that is expected to attack the Congress-led UPA and BJP-led NDA for bringing the country to the verge of "destruction" and forge a political alternative to both.

"We will finalise our strategy for the coming election. There will be discussion about election manifesto and the candidates to be fielded. No organisational issue will come up before the meeting," senior CPI (M) Polit Bureau member S Ramachandran Pillai said.

CPI (M), which has already finalised 80 Lok Sabha seats, is in talks with other like-minded parties to forge electoral alliances on some more constituencies in its bid to forge an alternative against Congress and BJP.

The major Left party is confident of a realignment of non-Congress, non-BJP secular political parties emerging as a third alternative and forming government.

The central committee is also expected to discuss the draft of an election appeal to be made jointly by the Left parties. The Left parties are expected to issue a call to secular forces in NDA which are "perturbed" by BJP's Hindutva agenda and parties in UPA which were unhappy with Congress' "privatise or perish" policy.

Besides its strongholds of West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura, the party has already finalised several seats in other states, having earlier decided to put up at least one candidate each in states like Punjab, Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh.

As per the seat-sharing arrangement in West Bengal, the CPI(M) would contest 32 of the total 42 seats, leaving four to Revolutionary Socialist Party and three each to Forward Bloc and CPI. As before, it would put up candidates on both the seats in Tripura.

In Kerala, the party has been in the midst of a factional feud between between two stalwarts, state Secretary Pinarayi Vijayan and Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan, which has been aggravated due to the SNC Lavalin power project scam in which the CBI has made the former an accused.

However, the CPI (M)-led LDF in the state has finalised seat sharing though differences remain with JD(S) over one. The party has already launched campaign in the strongholds of Tripura, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu where it is going by the understanding between Karat and AIADMK supreme J Jayalalithaa.
