#PeoplesBrigade: Over 1 million people attended a communist rally in Kolkata

Spectacular images came from India's Kolkata a few days ago, when over 1 million people gathered in the so-called "People's Brigade" rally. 

The rally, which took place on February 3, was organized by the Left Front, a political alliance led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist)

The upcoming elections and the need for collective people's struggle against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government was the major issue addressed by the speakers. Among those who addressed the huge crowd was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Sitaram Yechury, who sharply criticized the Modi government.
