surrendered unconditionally. As the disputes were
going on within, the party recorded good victories in
1952 General Elections. Under these circumstances
the Andhra Secretariat got down to withdraw the
Telangana armed struggle. The CPI and CPI(M)
leaderships supported the Central Committee
declaration to withdraw the Telangana armed struggle.
Differences among the leaders were there regarding
the ways and means of how to withdraw the Telangana
armed struggle. In that way the CPI Central leadership
betrayed the Telangana armed struggle. Those who
had surrendered and retreated during the struggle
were brought back and reinstated in their previous
positions. All these had gone with the CPI at the time
of 1964 split.
Since 1950 itself differences were there about the
nature of transfer of power in 1947 and agrarian issues
and they had grown up. They took up a new shape
with the victories gained in 1952 elections. With the
demise of comrade Stalin the CPI leadership resorted
to bury the whole revolutionary strategy and tactics.
The revisionist politics and path adopted by
Khrushchev, who came to power after the death of
comrade Stalin helped for this. Till 1964 the CPI
eulogized Nehru: since then it had praised Indira
Gandhi until the Emergency. When the disputes were
intensifying, most of them who rejected the Telangana
armed struggle had become the leaders of CPI in
1964: those who confronted with them on many issues
has became the leaders of CPI(M). Though there were
some differences, between the programme formulated
by the CPI(M) in 1964 and that of CPI there was no
basic difference. Both of them had adopted the
Parliamentary path.
The CPI(M) emerged in 1964 pookup the politics
to be friendly with opposition parties of big
bourgeoisie, big land lord classes. Differences among
the top leaders were also continuing: these differences
among the leaders belong to Ranadive path, CPI path
and Sundaraiah path. After 1967 elections the CPI(M)
adopted a naked election/parliamentary path in the
name of Kerala-Bengal road. With this, the eyes of
revolutionary forces in the CPI(M) were totally opened.
The revolutionaries come out from CPI(M). As the
revolutionaries were come out from the CPI(M), those
leaders who had a path against Sundarayya path had
intensified their struggle to score victory for their path:
they did all their efforts in way subtle manner to throw
it in to a dust bin. Only because of the Sundarayya
was forced to resign for the post of General Secretary
in 1972 soon after the revolutionaries came out from
CPI(M). In this way the CPI in 1964 and the CPI(M) in
1967 went out from Indian Communist Movement. The
revolutionaries and their organizations are continuing
has the true heirs of Indian Communist Movement,
even though revolutionaries did commit many blunders
and having many lapses.

Formation of CPI(M-L) from CPI and CPI(M)
The rank and file differing with the Central
leadership since 1947 itself continued their internal
struggle and finally came out in 1964 ending up their
relation with CPI revisionism. They believed the
credentials of CPI(M) leadership and continued with
them. As the CPI(M) Central leadership adopted
Kerala-Bengal path after 1967 elections, the same
year it joined with the ministry of Bangla Congress
and resorted to suppress Naxalbari movement: with
these developments its neo-revisionist character came
out in a full pledged way. Therefore the leaders of the
Naxalbari movement in Bengal came out from CPI(M)
at first: mean while the Andhra leaders started their
ideological struggle in 1967 and defeated their neo-
revisionist theories with a overwhelming majority in
Palakollu Plenum held in 1968. Having continued their
political and ideological struggle until 1964 April
Burdwan Plenum, comrades D.V.,C.P, T.N, Kolla
Venkaiah etc., came out from neo-revisionism of
CPI(M).
Exactly when the time has come for unity of all
revolutionaries, wrong otganizational practices and
groupism was practiced by the Naxalbari leadership
which lead to grow poisonous seeds in forming as a
single revolutionary party of all revolutionaries. In
February 1969 they expelled the Andhra leadership
from the All India Co-ordination Committee of
Revolutionaries (AICCR) without any reason, who
joined in 1968 October. Even then the leadership
worked out “Immediate Programme” at Atlapragada
Plenum In April 1969: the CPI(M-L) that formed in 1969
formulated “Party Programme” in
