Nearly 20 leaders from Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh will meet at YMCA campsite in Aluva on October 6 to discuss the programme and constitution of the new party, said V.B. Cherian, trade union leader.
The name of the new party would be announce on October 7, the anniversary of the Russian Revolution after a rally. The draft prepared at the meeting would be discussed at a conference to be held at Jalandhar in December, he said.
