AB Bardhan, CPI(M), Homage

New Delhi, January 3: The Polit  Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses its deep grief at the passing away of Comrade A. B. Bardhan, veteran leader of the Communist and working class movement of India.

Bardhan became a Communist as a young student while participating in the anti-imperialist student movement.  As a trade union activist and as a leader of All India Trade Union Congress, he made a significant contribution to organizing the working class.

Comrade Bardhan, as the General Secretary of the CPI, helped to build Left unity. He played a key role in strengthening relations with CPI(M).  Comrade Bardhan’s life and work was that of a dedicated Communist leader.  In his death, the CPI and the Left movement have lost an invaluable leader.

The Polit Bureau pays  its respectful homage to his memory.  The Polit Bureau conveys its heartfelt condolence to his daughter, son and other members of his family.

AFSPA, Tripura

The CPI(M) government of Tripura has won one more laurel on governance.

Now the Tripura Government has lifted the much hated Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA). The reason:

“Insurgency activities in the state are now reduced almost at zero”, according to Manik Sarkar, Chief Minister of Tripura.

Our Hearty Congratulations to Chief Minister Com. Manik Sarkar and the CPI(M) government of Tripura!

Insurance Bill passed in Rajya Sabha – Congress supports the Bill

Bill, Insurance, Protest

Rajya Sabha yesterday, 12th March 2015, passed the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill 2015, increasing FDI in Insurance Sector from 26% to 49%. The Congress and NDA shamelessly supported the bill and allowed it to pass in the Rajya Sabha, where the ruling party is in a minority. The amendments moved by the Left Parties, which strongly opposed the bill, were defeated jointly by the NDA and UPA.

The Corporates and MNCs were jubilant and expressed their happiness that the Modi Government has passed the bill. According to some of them, more than Rs. 20,000 crore foreign funds are expected after the passing of the bill.

But the sinister fact is that the entire insurance sector, where there is big profit, is going to be taken away by foreign finance. Serious attack will come on the PSU insurance companies. The present subscriber satisfaction will come down.

The Insurance workers have organised a s complete strike on 9th March against the bill, which was a complete success. They are sure to continue the struggle to save the Insurance Sector. Our full support and solidarity to them.

Sustained struggles are required to defeat the anti-working class policies of the government.

Left Wins, President, Uruguay

Ex-president Tabare Vazquez has won Uruguay’s presidential runoff, extending the left’s decade-long hold on power — though not necessarily his predecessor’s ground-breaking marijuana laws, exit polls showed.

Vazquez, a 74-year-old cancer doctor who previously served as president from 2005 to 2010, won between 53 and 53.9 percent of the vote, and will succeed his Broad Front (FA) party colleague Jose Mujica, according to three different exit polls yesterday.

His center-right opponent, 41-year-old lawmaker Luis Lacalle Pou, took between 40.6 and 42 percent of the vote, found the pollsters, Factum, Cifra and Equipos Mori. (PTI)

The Left has retained the President ship. A welcome news!

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.

The First Communist Government In Kerala

Communist Government, Kerala

5th April 1957 is a historic day in the annals of Indian Democracy. It was on this day that the first Communist Government was formed in Kerala with Com. E.M.S.Namboodiripad as the Chief Minister. That was also the first election taken place after Kerala State was formed.

The ministry had only narrow majority. Despite all out efforts by the Congress Party and the Central Congress Government, they could not get a single Communist/Independent to switch over to topple the ministry.

Important legislations like Land Reforms, Education Act etc. were passed by the government which gave much relief to the people. The vested interests and fundamentalists all came together against the government, but again could not topple it. The US imperialists funded the agitation against the Kerala Communist Government.

At last, after all plans failed to topple the democratically elected Government, the Central Government dismissed it by invoking Article 356 of the Constitution. Shame on the Congress Government.

Kerala is on the top in Literacy, average income, housing, educational institutions, medical facilities, longevity etc. The democratic and labour movements are strong in the state. The Left and Left led governments in Kerala has got a pivotal role in all this.
