The CPI(M) will finalise its 'rectification process' in January in a bid to do away with shortcomings and strengthen the party.

"The Central Committee has adopted the documents of the rectification and it will discuss the matter in January in Kolkata," CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said after the Politburo meeting here.

A draft document outlining the Rectification Campaign was adopted by the Central Committee in October to carry out changes in the party, to remove the shortcomings and strengthening the organisation.

"The document has to be implemented at various level. Today, the Politburo has discussed that how it will be implemented here," Yechury said.

However, ruling out any time limit for the completion of the rectification process, he said the process is on and there is no time limit fixed for it.

About the Politburo meeting, Yechury said, "We take stock of the political situation in the country. There are some proposals also which will be discussed in the Central Committee."

Asked about those proposals, he said unless it is discussed in the highest party forum it cannot be made public. Asked about the rectification campaign, West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said the process would be initiated "from the top".

"Today, we (CPI-M Politburo) discussed some suggestions about how to start from the top-level, that is from the Politburo and the Central Committee, and then go down to the local level. That is the way our methodology works." He said the rectification campaign, launched for the first time in 1998, was being updated and new proposals with "some do's and don'ts" have been formulated.

The Central Committee meeting, scheduled in the end of January in Kolkata, would finalise the entire rectification campaign. Maintaining that the rectification would be "a continuous process", Bhattacharjee said it would "not end in one month or two months. It will go on".

Asked about how to carry out the same process in his cabinet, the chief minister said this was an inner-party process. "In the cabinet, we have a different process. There are some mechanisms to stop corruption."
