PASAR138 RTP SLOT Following the split, CPI(Right) was significantly larger than the CPI(Left) in Punjab, as the latter lacked a strong mass base and lacked support among workers, landless peasants and agricultural labourers. During the 1964 split the party was divided evenly between the two parties, but much of top leadership in Mysore State sided with CPI(Left). Both Benoy and Punjab Debbarma would have had the right to delegate credential as they had been delegates to the last state conference, but the two had violated the agreement in the party unit by openly endorsing the Dange-led CPI in the run-up to the convention. In Punjab most of the industrial workers and agricultural labourers sided with CPI in the split, whilst a middle-peasant element sided with CPI(M). Prior to 1964, the Punjab unit of CPI was heavily factionalized.|Human Rights Abuses in Manipur
