CPI formation, International Finance, Sitaram Yechury

Left parties today, 28th November 2015,  accused ruling BJP of “kowtowing” to the diktats of international finance capital and also hit out at the major NDA constituent, saying it is “totally devoid” of anti-imperialist content of national struggle for freedom as it never participated in it.
The parties alleged that divisive and anti-democratic policies pursued by BJP are ones which “suit” the interests of international finance capital, and asserted the fight against economic exploitation should be combined with struggle against all types of authoritarian forces, which too help imperialists.
“In India today, we have a situation, where, the ruling classes, now represented by BJP in power, are kowtowing to the dictates of international finance capital. Since they never participated in the national struggle for freedom, they are totally devoid of its anti-imperialist content,” CPI (M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury alleged.
Yechury made the remarks here during the inaugural session of a two-day seminar ‘Alternative to Global Capitalist Offensive: Asia’s Response’ organised by CPI as part of its events lined up to celebrate 90th year of its foundation.

71%, J and K elections

The first phase of voting in J and K showed 71.6 % , the highest compared to the last so many elections.  This seems to be a good beginning for the democratic process in the state.

Jharkhand has polled 62% in the first phase, despite threat by Maoists. This is also good polling.

BJP and Congress defaulters in submitting election accounts to Eelection Commission

25 Saturday Oct 2014

Accounts, BJP, Congress, EC

The main two ruling parties in the country are Congress and BJP. Congress was the ruling party at the centre for last ten years and BJP is the present ruling party after the general elections.

They have so many things in common. They are full supporters of the New-Economic Policy, they want to change labour laws to suit the corporates and big business, they are anti-left, most of their M.P.s and MLAs are crorepatis and so on.

Now in one more sector they are together; in not submitting the election accounts to the Election Commission. These two national parties have not submitted the accounts, though the stipulated period of three months are over by August. All other national Parties have already submitted their accounts.

We do not know whether an amendment to the Election Commission rules will be brought by the BJP government to the effect that the party in Government need not submit the accounts? It seems probable seeing the large number of amendments being presented in the parliament by the new government.

CPI(M), Maharashtra

The assembly elections in Maharashtra have evoked national interest. The major news in the last two days have been related to the result of the elections and how BJP will form the government etc. The seats won by the BJP, Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP are well published and known. But what about CPI(M)? No news at all.

But interestingly one CPI(M) candidate has also won. He is Com. J.P.Gavit from the Kanwan Assembly(ST) seat. This is in Nashik District. CPI(M) is winning the seat for the 7th time.

Our Congratulations to Com. Gavit and CPI(M) for the victory.

First Family or Family First ? – The Collapse of Congress

20 Monday Oct 2014

collapse, Congress

The First family has failed again. In Maharashtra and Haryana, where elections have been held, the Congress, which was the ruling party has been relegated to a poor third!

Years of anti-poor policies, favouring the corporates, Himalayan Corruptions, belief in the infallibility of first family, poor governance and what not ? The party which led the struggle for freedom and which ruled the country for about six decades has almost lost relevance in the larger politics of India. The First Family always considered the Family and its cahoots forst and not the country and its progress.

A deserving punishment indeed!
