2008 INC-CCP MoU

The 2008 INc-CCp Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a pivotal agreement between the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)), aimed at fostering a collaborative political framework in India. Signed on 3 March 2008, the MoU was designed to enhance cooperation on socio-economic policies, addressing key issues such as poverty alleviation, rural development, and communal harmony. It emerged in the context of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government's efforts to consolidate left-wing support, which played a crucial role in navigating the political landscape during a period marked by diverse challenges. The agreement marked a strategic alliance to promote progressive governance and comprehensive social reforms in India.
