The Democratic Revolutionary Peoples Party (DRPP) was a political party in the Indian state of Manipur. The party launched 23 candidates in the state assembly elections in 2002, out of whom two were elected. In total, the party received 51 916 votes. Post-elections, the party joined the Secular Progressive Front led by the Indian National Congress (INC). Ahead of the 2004Lok Sabha elections, the DRPP merged with the INC.
The party's tasks are to propagate revolutionary theory among the masses, to organise the material means for action, and to lead the working class through the development of its struggle by preserving the historical continuity and international unity of the movement.
Consequently they repudiated the use of revolutionary means for the conquest of political power by the proletariat, sanctioning the necessity of legal and parliamentary struggle, to which all the class impulses of the proletariat had to be subordinated in the interest of a conquest of political power by a peaceful and electoral road.
The party considers its press as the principal activity in the present phase, since it is one of the most effective means permitted by the real situation for indicating the correct political line for the masses to follow, and for an organic and more extensive propagation of the principles of the revolutionary movement.
In avoiding the problem of the real character of a revolutionaryparty, the CPSU defines the revolutionaryparty as a party in which there is a "faction of workers and peasants" cooperating with factions of the bourgeoisy, all working peacefully together towards their respective goals.
It is impossible to judge a party without a study of the social changes within the compradore bourgeoisy and the bureaucratic class and in the ranks of the national bourgeoisy and the small bourgeoisy.
The moment the Derg, the RevolutionaryParty of the Ethiopian People, took the power, the PRPE was a marxist-leninist party which dominated widely the student movement, the intellectuals and the unions in Ethiopia.
