One day's salary

It is election time and all political parties are in need of money. While most big parties hope to get donations form companies, the CPI(M) has appealed to its members to donate money for the elections. Party politburo member and West Bengal general secretary Biman Bose’s letter on this issue, published in party mouthpiece Ganashakti, says: “Comrades, in this election time we need more money. Other parties have the backing of big companies but we depend entirely on your support. Kindly donate your one day’s salary or any amount of your choice to us.”
