The Left Democratic Front is the name of a political alliance of left, democratic and progressive parties in Maharashtra, India.[1]

2009 election and RiDaLoS

The parties of LDF and republican parties formed an alliance named Republican Left Democratic Front for 2009 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election.[2][3]

Objectives

The front goals a series to highlight the issues including remunerative price for agricultural produce, minimum wage and social security to agricultural labourers and unorganised workers, injustice and atrocities on women, dalits, adivasis, minorities and OBCs, the burning problems of price rise and unemployment, the defence of constitutional values and strong opposition to communal and ‘Manuwadi fascism’ of the RSS-BJP. The alliance also wants to maximise anti-BJP votes in the upcoming elections. To achieve these goals, a six membered core committee was formed.[4] The members of the committee are CPI(M) Politburo member Ashok Dhawale, former MP Raju Shetti, CPI leader Bhalchandra Kango, PWPI general secretary and MLC member Jayant Prabhakar Patil, SP leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi, BVA leader Hitendra Thakur.
