Press Release
April 28, 2023

Observe the revolutionary May Day. Build Political militant working class and peasant movements in India against the Fascist BJP Four Labour Codes, anti- farmer’s policies and all anti people policies of the government.
CPI (Maoist) conveys it’s heartedly wishes to all working class, the toiling masses of India and rest of the world onthe occasion of May Day. This time we are going to celebrate May Day at that historical juncture when the global Capitalism is undergoing one of its worst crisis. Imperialism is staging severe repression and exploitation on oppressed countries and its toiling masses as well as all over the world. Inter- imperialist wars are intensifying and is heading towards nuclear war. The proletariat all over the world has today transformed into a mere appendage to supply-chains as a source of surplus value. This has degraded all the elements of its existence and devoid it’s humanely life, compelling it to revolt against this given reality of Capitalism that dehumanizes the vast majority of the human population. In semi- feudal and semi-colonial country like India different forms of capital coexist and the working class exist into different contingent. Still in India labour is not entirely free as it is in the capitalist country and there is prevalence of the process of surplus extraction via the unpaid domestic labor, labor bondage and casual labor.
Social and economic inequality has taken a giant leap since Modi came to power. Top hundred billionaires in India controls wealth of around 54 lakh crore. Such a huge amount is enough to finance the union budget for 18 months at least. Concentration of wealth and resources in the hands of exploitative classes has caused tremendous distress in Indian economy and to the working class.
Agriculture conditions: BJP government policies at the centre and other ruling class parties at the state has failed to create favourable conditions for the accumulation of profits for the small, medium as well as large scale farmers.
The recent budget by the central government has constructed a plan of 20 lakh crore rupees for credit. This is nothing but an outrightly mockery of the farmers demand for the cancellation of debts, framing laws on MSP and reduction of the input costs. Whatever surplus is generated by the small and medium farmers are extracted and exploited by the landlords and Monopoly finance capital, and the end result is that such surplus fails to develop the production.
According to the last census, the total population of landless labourers was around 14 crore, and going by the recent trend their population has further increased. Around 83 percent of rural households holds less than 30 percent of land, and this clearly states the concentration of lands in the hands of new feudal landlords and corporate classes.
Employment Scenario and attack on working class: Around 90% of the labour force in India is involved in informal sector. In the financial year 2022-23, around 10,655 micro, small and medium enterprises have closed down and this is the highest in the past four years. This informal sector constitutes around 30 percent of the economy and 40 percent of the labour force has been struggling from demonetization, GST and Pandemic. The share of government jobs in the organized sectors is rapidly going down the hill. From 2014-2021, the total job applications were above 22 crore but, the Modi government was able to give around only 7 lakh jobs in government sectors. Apart from this
around, 44 percent of government jobs are temporary or on contract basis. At the same period crores of workers and employees lost their jobs due to Modi government pro imperialist and pro Comprador bourgeoisie policies. The informalization of the Indian economy has further led to the exploitation of the working class and the peasantry. One of the major factor behind the steep decline in the share of wages (from 30% in the 1980s to 9.5% in 2009) compared to the huge increase in the share of profits (from around 15% to 55% during the same period) has been the rapid contractorisation of the labour force.The proportion of contract workers in formal sector manufacturing increased from about 12.26% in 1990–91 to about 42.27% in 2013-14. The labour participation rate has fallen from 42.9 per cent
to 39.8 per cent in the past few years. The decline in real wages have attacked the purchasing power of the workers and the toiling masses. Between 2016-17 and 2021-22, there has been a drastic 62 percent decline in jobs in the cement industry, in the metal industry the employment has gone down by 10 percent and in the mining sector jobs have gone down by 28 percent. According to NCRB report 2021, around 80 thousand daily wage laborers have committed suicide in the last two years. In fact it is not a suicide but a murder orchestrated by the ruling classes.
Privatization of Key Public Sectors: As BJP captured the political power in 2014 it has unleashed a series of
programs to privatize the core public sectors which are the arteries of the Indian economy. It is trying all its effort to
hand over the Coal India limited and Singareni Collieries Company Limited to Adani and Ambani. In order to facilitate

that move it has enacted Coal Mines (Special) provision Act, 2015 that allows the private players to produce and sell
coal on their own administered price. Under National Monetization Program, BJP government is willing to privatize
400 railway stations, 150 passenger trains, 2,843 km of Dedicated Freight Corridors and track infrastructure, among
others. Several Public Sector Banks, Insurance sectors, telecom and other have been kept in line for privatization.
Corporatization of natural resources is heading forward with the help of fascist onslaught on the people’s movements against the privatization of the natural wealth of our country.
International Working class struggles: The French working class movement clearly shows the political and economic crisis of the bourgeoisie system in France. Macron is sustaining its rule through decree and severe repressive measures on the mass working class movements. On March 23rd, the working class movement in France against the new pension policy and other working class problems acquired a militant form which made the ruling class to describe the movement as an act of insurrection. The revisionist parties in France are all marching shoulder to shoulder in order to protect the Fifth Republic from the onslaught of the working class. The Revisionist parties are trying all its effort to destabilize the ongoing workers movements in France through its compromise tactics that plays
in the interest of the bourgeoisie. The genuine Communist and revolutionary forces need to wage a political and ideological struggle in order to continue the working class movement for building socialism in France. It is necessary at present for the French working class to go for general strike in order to break the spine of the system. In United Kingdom series of working class protests erupted from May 2022 that has also given rise to the political crisis in the United Kingdom. In USA, the nurses’ movement, Amazon Workers movements and other working class movements are continuing. All these resembles the intensification of the class contradictions arising from the deepening crisis of
the global capitalist system.
Trade unions in India rather being having partisan approach towards working class movements, it is in fact adjusting itself to the compulsion of the system. In front of the concentric power of the capital and the government, the working classes is divided into diverse isolated parts. Trade unions are not taking the working class movements’ one step further in terms of political directions. At present the working class movements are displaying spontaneous consciousness that is largely linked to the dominance of partial demands as put forwarded by the Trade unions.
Unions Strikes have become formal in essence which is losing its potency for any minimum transformation in the living conditions of the working classes in India. Between 1991 and 2022, there has been a total of 21 strikes call given by the central trade unions, but all these strikes could not put any pressure on the state and it depicts a kind holiday strike. The Indian working class movements is passing through a toughest time in its history and only through having a clear political approach of forming unity with the peasantry and other toiling masses it can overcome from its persisting weakness. Today trade unions all over the world are under the grip of revisionist and social democratic
forces which has entangled the working class movements in the chains of economism and reformism. It is the duty of the working class to fight against this anti proletariat ideology by building militant working-class movements and must move forward in the aim of capture the political power.
Comrades,
The existing production relations is exploitative and is acting as a fetter on the development of the production forces. The persisting backwardness of the Indian production relationship that is connected with the imperialist Monopoly finance capital, Comprador Bourgeoisie capital and landlords are impediment to the overall development of the working class and the masses. The Indian working class and the peasantry must overthrow these fetters by making New Democratic Revolution successful and by marching towards socialism. Central Committee of CPI ( Maoist) gives a call to all mass organization, workers and peasantry, women, intellectuals,students, Dalits, Oppressed and nationality organizations to built a joint militant political working class and peasantry movements
against the four labour codes, anti farm law and Brahmanical Hindutva Fascism all over the country.

Long Live World Proletarian May Day
Let us consolidate the proletariat whose livesare becoming destabilized in the recessionary conditions across the world .
Fight against the threat of I mperialist war!
Intensify the anti- imperialist struggles!

Dear workers of the world!
“Workers of the world, unite, ‘ There is nothing to loosen for proletarian except the
shackles of the slavery “was said by our great teachers Marx and Engels. May Day is the
day of the World proletarian class who achieved their genuine rights with their heroically
struggles. For the past 137 years, the world wide working class is celebrating this day with
great determination and the revolutionary enthusiasm. They are waging very militant
struggles against the suppression of their rights and achieving their just demands. On the
occasion of this World May Day, the proletarian Day, let us convey our best red salutes to
the working class of the world and pay our rich tribunes those who laid their precious lives
to the sake of the world socialism.
Last century was the century of the successes of the proletarian revolutions. Apart
from the revolutions of the Russia and China, the revolutions of the working class in many
countries of the world were successful and formed a socialist camp. The red flags were
hastened on the one six of the globe. But those successes were not stood last long. The
political power of the proletariat and the people’s democratic dictatorship was defeated.
The revisionists has become strong in the revolutionary parties and in the governments of
the working class and captured the power. This is the misery of working class.
The socialist camp of the world had ended with the emergence of Soviet social
imperialism first in the USSR and then after China has become as a new social imperialist

country in the history. In spite of it, the working class movements are still going on all over
the world. The anti- imperialist mass struggles are also intensifying across the world. On the
other hand, the new Maoist parties are emerging in different countries across the world.
This has become a trend of the day. To break these struggles and the new trend, the
revisionists and neo revisionists who colluded with the bourgeois class are the main danger
for it. Without exposing them and without defeating their machinations, the working class
will not be able to advance their struggles in the direction of seizure of political power. We
are very confident that, on this occasion of the May Day, the advanced section of the
revolutionary proletariat of all the countries will recognize the danger of it and alert the
working class to use better the present revolutionary conditions to intensify the working
class struggles.
Dear proletarian comrades,
For the past few years, the working class movement across the world is gaining
momentum year by year. Today’s world has bogged down in the conditions of severe
recession and the lives of the laborers of all the countries are becoming very miserable.
Now, once again the collapsing of the banks has started. America’s third largest bank,
Silicon Valley Bank, collapsed due to the gigantic fall in the share values. The collapse of the
banks will destroy and destabilize again the economies around the world. On the other
hand, for the last three years, the Covid-19 pandemic created by the imperialists is making
the entire public, including the working class has been destabilized. Still the world is
suffering with different variants of Covid. In the name of vaccine, the imperialists looted
the toiling masses, but none of the vaccines could completely eradicate the epidemic. In the
time of Covid, the lives of poor laborers were largely ruined by the lockdown policies
implement ted by the governments. The exploitative governments around the world did a
great deal to save the big corporates houses in the times of recession. But, no one
government was worried about the welfare of the toiling masses. No comprehensive police
were devised to save the poor and toiling ones. Therefore, this is right time for the working
class who has identified the cunning nature of the governments, has to intensify the
struggle against it.
The world is being burning in the flames of the war since last year which was ignited
by the imperialists. On the one hand the imperialist Russia and on the other hand U.S
imperialists and its NATO alliance are disastrously burning the land of Ukraine in to the
ashes of war. The imperialist Russia imposed the war on Ukraine in the name of special
military operation is condemnable and it is more seriously condemn- able which U.S and its
allies NATO war mongers are implementing the disastrous war policies which are leading to
the destructive results. With the consequences of war the people of both countries are
facing serious problems. Till now, there are reports of death toll is more than 1.5 lakh
people in Ukraine. Millions of people have been displaced and migrated as refugees. The
fields of Ukraine is wetting with the blood of soldiers and people. But the neo Nazi Zelensky
is not only even getting ready for talks but also encouraging his armies and people to fight
with neo Tsarist Russia with the help of US and its NATO alliance. In this war, it is crystal
clear that military corporate houses and U.S imperialist are mainly getting enormous
profits. In the last one year’s war, U.S imperialist alone has delivered more than $ 30 billion

of war material to Ukraine in the name of assistance, which shows the extent of its profits.
The working class of the world is raising its voice to stop this war immediately. Public
demonstrations against the war are continuing in many countries of the world. They must
step up their voices against the ongoing war. In that direction, on the occasion of the May
Day it is the need of the hour to take resolute decision by the working class of all the
countries.
There is an upsurge of working class movements all over the world. Meanwhile,
millions of workers in Britain are undergoing strike like never before in this decade to
demand higher wages and lower prices of essential commodities. The working class of
France is fighting for their demands by taking themselves to the streets. The workers of all
countries of Europe and America are struggling to achieve their just demands. In India also
all types of government employees are resorting for strike. Mainly lakhs of contract
workers, Aanganwadi workers, Asha workers, Sanitation workers and Health workers are
undergoing strike to increase their wages and to treat them equal with government
employees and get them be permanent. Millions of farmers of India are also struggling in an
unprecedented way. In South Asia mainly Sri Lanka and Pakistan are entrenched in
economic crisis i, the poor and oppressed people are getting troubled by the soaring prices.
In the countries of Africa and Latin America also the toiling masses are fighting for their just
demands. Today the world is burning with the strikes of working class. Another side it has
become a phenomenon of the world to entrench the workers from their jobs. The big
corporate houses are entrenching the labor in big number. They are coming on the roads
with their just demands. There is a need of working class revolutionary parties to lead this
struggles. It’s high time to consolidate the working class in the appropriate forms of
struggle and organization al structures. All the militant struggles must be equipped with
the seizure of political power politics. Failing to do so, the working class will become a
scapegoat for revisionist politics, being satisfied with a four dollar increase in the wages and
trapped in the decades of economism and reformism. That’s why on the occasion of May
Day, we will take an oath by taking the red flag in our hands that we will not do like this.
The Ukraine war instigated by the imperialists does not seem to stop; they are
intensifying the threat of a world war. The threat of nuclear war is also on the rise. Ukraine
is not only the country in the world that is falling prey to imperialist war. Millions of people
are dying in Yemen. In so many countries, millions of people are becoming scapegoats for
the interests of the imperialist wars. The world is more disturbed due to imperialist policies
of serving their own interest. Due to the imperialist policies the environmental crisis is
increasing. The imperialists wars are one of the main reasons behind the increasing of in
the sufferings of the working class. The root cause of today’s crisis is also the same.
Imperialism is the only reason for the violation of the rights of the working class and also
for the massacres across the world. The wars led by single U.S imperialist are more than
300 in the history after it has become a nation killed millions of people across the world. It
wants to fulfill its lust of hegemony of the world and get enormous profits it never
hesitated to destruct the world. Every single step taken by U.S imperialism leads to a
devastating war somewhere in the world in one or the other way. The U.S imperialists and
its traditional ally Europe are on the one hand and the Russian imperialists and Chinese on

the other hand are very greedy to re divide the world. As a result, the whole world is
suffering with devastating war, crisis, recession, hunger, poverty, oppression,
unemployment and price rise. Let us strive to create the world which will be war free. But
that is not possible without the end of imperialism. So, let us more intensify the anti-
imperialist militant struggles. Let us equip it with the revolutionary politics to protect it
from the temptations of economism and reformism of all kinds of revisionists.
In some countries of the world, particularly U.S imperialists and its European ally
countries t the right wing parties are promoting racism. The danger of fascism is increasing
in many countries. For the last 10 years, the Hindutva forces are in power in India are
implementing their fascist policies. To destroy the diversity of the country, they are
imposing their reactionary policies on the people of the country. They have declared 2024
as the last date to completely eliminate the people’s war going on in the country for more
than last five decades. The areas of Maoist movement are being suppressed by drone
strikes, helicopter firing and deployment of lakhs of police and paramilitary forces. In order
to end the decades- long revolutionary movement of the Philippines, the government of
Junior Marcos is increasing the repression with the help of American imperialists in an
unprecedented manner. In order to stop the ongoing people’s wars in Turkey, Peru and
some other countries, the comprador ruling classes of that states are intensifying the
attacks under the guidance and assistance of the imperialists. Palestine and different
national movements are also being crushed for decades. But their struggles are going on.
Let us stand firmly with the people those who are continuing the people’s wars and
nationalist movements in their countries opposing the imperialists and comprador
bureaucratic bourgeoisie and feudalism. This is the duty bound task of the proletarian. On
the occasion of the May Day the working class must take oath to consolidate the ongoing
revolutionary struggles in their respective countries and to increase mutual fraternal
movements. Every step of the working class has to advance in the direction of revolutionary
politics of seizure of political power. This May Day must be celebrated as the Day of
Struggle by the working class to intensify its struggles in the direction of ending the
imperialism on the globe.

Long live Proletarian class May Day.
Down with revisionism and neo-revisionism.
Down with imperialism
Let us fight against the danger of world war/atomic war
Let us stand resolutely in the support of ongoing people’s wars and build strong solidarity movements in support of it.

Amrut,
