While continuing to adopt tactics to isolate and defeat BJP, CPI(M) would "not enter into any alliance or united front with Congress," Politburo member S Ramachandran Pillai told reporters here.

"The party would maintain relations with all non-Congress secular parties for developing united struggles and joint actions on common issues," he said. The Political Resolution, which outlined these tasks, was adopted unanimously by the CPI(M) Congress, the highest body of the party, after incorporating 46 amendments.

The meet has begun discussion on Political-Organisational Report, making a "serious assessment" of CPI(M)'s performance since the last such conference three years ago, he said.

The resolution has also asked the party to develop its independent strength and expand its political base, besides projecting the Left and democratic alternative and building up mass movements on people's issues. Pillai said the party's membership had grown by over 1.14 lakh to over almost 11 lakh since the last Congress and acknowledged the trend of "uneven growth" of the party was still continuing as it was experiencing stunted growth in the Hindi-belt.
