Introduction to the policy programe of Janathana Sarkar
Under the leadership of Communist
Party of India (ML)[People’s War] revolutionary masses formed People’s
Army (PGA) and are making People’s War. The struggle of the revolutionary
masses of DK fighting for the past two and a half decades is inseparable
from the Indian New Democratic Revolution. They are weakening and
destroying the exploiting state power in the village (local) level
and establishing New Democratic Revolutionary power in the form of
janathana sarkars. They are becoming more and more enlightened in
the process of People’s War under the leadership of the proletarian
Party and are gaining experiences. They are organizing new power in
the village level and are determined to form it in the area level.
In the light of theory of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism the CPI(ML)[PW]
adopted the fundamental program of New Democratic Revolution. Depending
on this SZC is adopting the common minimum program for the janathana
sarkar (JS) keeping the specific social conditions and the level of
movement in view.
The JS shall be the newly formed People’s
Democratic state and the power of a government. This power shall attain
a complete character and a form, with the formation of countrywide
People’s Democratic Republic federation. Depending on the common minimum
program prepared by the Party the janathans sarkars forming in the
process of development of revolutionary struggle in DK shall make
efforts to implement the people’s government power as the new state
power.
They are forming organs of people’s
democratic power in the area level to establish guerilla base areas
with the aim of making Dandakaranya a Liberated Area. Depending on
the local JS the Area Janathana Sarkar (AJS) shall introduce People’s
Democracy in the area level. The JS shall bear the fundamental task
of organizing and expanding the new state power, run the revolutionary
war and mobilize the masses in the war.
The protection, organizing and expansion
of the JS depend on the intensification of People’s War. The JS shall
strengthen and expand in the process of formation of higher military
formations, intensification of guerilla war and destroying, defeating
and eliminating the enemy forces. The strengthening and expansion
of JS will lead to the formation of Liberated Areas and go in the
direction of seizure of power countrywide. This process of coordination
shall depend on the international and national political conditions
and the stage of People’s War.
Of all the state powers in India this
revolutionary people’s representative assemblies (viplava praja prathinidhula
sabhalu) and their revolutionary people’s committees (viplava praja
committeelu) are the highest and genuine democratic systems. They
strive to strengthen the power of area level proletarian leadership,
agricultural laborer and poor peasantry and the power of anti feudal,
anti imperialist, anti Comprador Bureaucratic Bourgeois forces, with
the aim of making DK a Liberated area with the objective of New Democratic
Revolution. They will encourage the initiative, creativity and collectivity
of the broad peasant masses in People’s War, organise them, depend
on them totally, learn from them and lead them in the forefront. They
make serious efforts to develop people’s war so as to help the developing
people’s upsurge in the respective levels.
Depending on the People’s Democratic
state power – tasks of the government declared in the program of CPI(ML)[PW],
we put here in detail the fundamental policies and tasks of People’s
Democratic government as the first part of the program of the JS.
We formulated this policy program
keeping in view the circulars, guidelines and duties the Central Committee
and DKSZC released earlier.

Janathana Sarkar
Introduction
We are now forming janathana sarkars
successfully as a result of the great struggles the Dandakaranya revolutionary
masses are taking up to successfully go forward with the ultimate
aim of establishing Socialism-Communism by destroying the semi colonial,
semi feudal system in India through People’s War and establishing
People’s Democratic system. We are declaring the necessary policy
program.
This policy program shall be implemented
across Dandakaranya wherever the janathana sarkars are formed. Where
they are not yet formed and serious efforts are going on for their
formation, that is, in the guerilla zones, this shall be the basis
of struggle. In the areas where revolutionary movement is expanding
newly, that is, in the perspective areas this shall be the issue of
propaganda.
First part
Fundamental policies-tasks of the
People’s Democratic Government

The central task of Indian Revolution is to seize
political power, to destroy the semi colonial, semi feudal state,
its politics, its economic system and culture and establish a New

the political and economic system and culture of this New Democratic
state. By achieving this aim the doors will be opened for the development
of the whole Indian society. The poverty and misery of the masses
will be eliminated. A political economic and cultural base will
be formed for the Socialist state. Struggle for People’s Democracy
means struggle to establish anti imperialist, anti feudal, anti
big bourgeois politics, economics and culture. People’s Democracy
means the struggle of the masses against imperialist, feudal, big
bourgeois classes under the leadership of proletarian class under
the direction of Communist Party on the basis of peasant alliance.
-
In order to fulfill the above central task Indian
masses must join the People’s Army. They have to eliminate the armed
forces of the Indian state and its total mechanism through War.

The line of People’s Democratic Revolution is a
protracted People’s War. People’s Democratic Revolution will be

Second part
Structure of the government
Name
Janathana sarkar
Flag
Hammer and sickle with red flag
with the length and breadth of the ratio 2:3.
Song
Must sing communist international
in front of the flag.
Formation of government
Village Janathana sarkars may be
formed in areas of 500-3000 population.
Structure of the government
People will elect the people’s assemblies/representatives
assemblies on the basis of general adult vote in the village/town,
area, district/division, special zone/state levels in revolutionary
bases formed in the process of the ongoing People’s War. The committees
elected through these assemblies shall work as the revolutionary
governments. The revolutionary government shall be absolutely in
the hands of the masses. The supreme people’s Congress of the Federation
of the People’s Democratic Republic in the all India level or the
Central level after achieving countrywide success in considerable
areas in the country shall be the highest organ of the government.
After the People’s War achieves
success in Dandakaranya or in a considerable area dandakaranya,
autonomous government will be formed. The present Dandakaranya consists
of South Bastar, West Bastar, North Bastar, Maad and Gadchiroli
divisions. The majority masses in this area are suffering with exploitation
and misery for generations together. The natural development process
took a distorted turn. The adivasis are still in the pre feudal
production relationships. So the Dandakaranya people’s government
shall work as their autonomous government and provide special opportunities
for their development.
Election of government
All adults those who have the age
of 18 years will participate in elections. One needs to complete20
years to be elected. Landlords, anti people hierarchs, stooges of
exploiting government and anti revolutionary forces are disqualified
to participate in elections. The elections are held through secret
ballot. Election commission will conduct the elections. The elected
representatives shall be answerable to the people’s assemblies or
the representative’s assemblies that they represent. If the elected
representatives do not conduct their duties properly the people’s
assemblies/representative assemblies can call them back. The people’s
assemblies/representative assemblies can call the representatives
back only with a 2/3rds majority. The president and the vice-president
of the autonomous governments shall be from the masses, reflecting
the aspirations of the majority masses. Minority nationalities and
tribes from other areas shall have proper representation according
to their population in the autonomous areas. The rest of the adivasis
must be considered as local adivasis.
The people’s democratic government
will be formed with the democratic classes, sections, parties, organizations,
the representatives of teams, the representatives of people’s army
and democratic individuals. People from workers, peasants, petty
bourgeois class and national bourgeois class constitute the government.
This will be formed as the revolutionary United Front government.
This will exercise the power as a genuine democratic government.
Now we are forming organs of revolutionary
government in a secret manner. So it is not possible to elect revolutionary
people’s governments with direct elections in the place of exploiting
class governments from the village to upper level. We can conduct
elections through the people’s representative assemblies in a limited
number in such conditions.
In all levels, the people’s assemblies
in the people’s assemblies/people’s representatives in the representative
assemblies will elect the revolutionary people’s governments. These
governments will establish various government departments, their
responsible persons and mechanism to conduct the administrative
responsibilities. They will make the necessary laws.
Method of functioning of the
government

fundamental policy of the structure and method of functioning of
the government. As per the principles of democracy individuals shall
be committed to the government, minority to the majority, lower
level government to the higher level government, lower level to
the gram sabha and higher level to the representatives assembly.
Coming to the higher level autonomous
governments, they shall make acceptable decisions reflecting the
aspirations of the masses regarding the language, culture and development.
Normally these decisions will not be mandatory orders to be implemented.
The autonomous governments can ratify them with certain exceptions
and amendments. On the other hand the autonomous governments shall
view the development of their areas and future as a part of the
development and future of the whole country and implement the decisions
of the high level government.
People shall have total control
on the People’s Democratic government. It will make the broad masses
participate in the daily work of the government by adopting proper

court must bear this in mind. The people’s courts will strive
to develop these forums to be people oriented and work for the
integrity among the people.
-
Whatever the case or dispute may be, it will
collect the related information about the case beforehand, listen
to the arguments of both the parties during the trial, listen
to the evidences totally and then pass a verdict. Normally the
trial is open and the people can tell their opinion freely. Thus
their role in the judicial system will increase.
-
