Protest against NDA Govt.

76ca6290af3f39e12fe99825966bf43c

New Delhi, Jul 20 : Left parties today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of not keeping his promise of giving a “corruption-free” government, and staged nation-wide protests seeking action against senior BJP leaders for their alleged role in Lalit Modi row, Vyapam scam and other controversies.

“On completion of one year of his Government, Modi had boasted that no corruption case surfaced during the period.

But, we told them to wait as there were no corruption charges against UPA government too until sixth or seventh year.

“But even before the NDA government could complete a year, we got to see so many scams coming out. Modi had promised a corruption-free government, but it has been failed so early,”

CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury said while addressing the protesters here.

Maharashtra – 1300 farmer suicides from January to June 2015

20 Monday Jul 2015

Farmers, Maharashtra, suicide

The two  main ruling parties in the country always speak about the sad plight of the farmers; but do nothing for them. The continuous suicides of the farmers in the country is a severe black blot on the face of the ruling parties.

The latest information is that in Maharashtra alone 1300 farmers have committed suicide during the six months from January 2015. In 2014, it was a total of 1,981 for the whole year.

When are the ruling parties  going to seriously think about the plight of the farmers, who cultivate and feed the people of the country and solve their problems. Of course, what is the interest for those crorepatis, who form more than half of the M.P.s and many of the Ministers, on the sad condition of the poor farmers?

black money

In the Parliament today, the BJP Government was in real trouble. The entire opposition thrashed the government on the Black money issue. They charged the government with doing nothing and not honouring its poll promises.

Of course the government defended its position, but was not convincing.

16 Left Parties Accuse BJP of Forcing Communalism

Defeat Communalist forces, Left Parties

Kolkata, Nov 13 : Lashing out at BJP and RSS, 16 Left parties today adopted a resolution against communalism and accused the Centre of trying to force “Hindutva ideologies” on the entire country.

The 16 Left parties including ten constituents of the Left Front in West Bengal led by CPI-M and other Left parties like SUCI(C), CPI(ML-Liberation), CPI(ML-Santosh Rana) and PDS today organised a convention and adopted a resolution against spread of communalism in the country and the state.

“Due to communal polarisation throughout the country, a threat is looming large over secularism and democracy. BJP, after achieving majority, has sped up this communal polarisation,” the adopted resolution stated.

“The corporates too have joined hands with communal forces. BJP, which is controlled by RSS, is trying to spread its ideals for creating a Hindu Rashtra,” it said.

The resolution also stated that various important educational, cultural and think-tanks of the Union government have been filled with RSS loyalists.

“They are trying to force ideologies of Hindutva on educational institutions. In such a situation, the minority community is feeling alienated and are suffering from identity crisis. And Islamic fundamentalists are trying to using this opportunity,” the resolution said.

“Bengal, which has been known as a stronghold of secularism, is too under threat of majority and minority polarisation and communalism. The misrule of Trinamool Congress due to its narrow-minded politics has provided space for communal polarisation in the state,” it stated.

Demanding stringent steps against communalism, the resolution also condemned the way a particular community and madrasas were being targeted as a fallout of the Burdwan blast last month.

The Left parties today appealed to the masses that communal forces should not be allowed to spread its wings in the state.

“Those who are talking much about religion and nationalism, are they not aware of their credentials and political legacy? Their political legacy is the demolition of Babri Masjid and fuelling of communal riots in the country. We have to defeat such forces in the state,” CPI(M) Politburo member Surjya Kanta Mishra said while addressing the programme.( Courtesy: Ganashakti)

Left Parties, Statement

November 1, 2014

Press Statement by CPI(M)

A meeting of six Left parties – Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India, Revolutionary Socialist Party, All India Forward Bloc, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-Liberation and Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) was held today at New Delhi. They have issued the following statement:

With the advent of the Modi government in power there is a concerted rightwing offensive fueled by the corporate-Hindutva forces. There is a growing onslaught on the people through the imposition of neo-liberal policies which is going to adversely impact the livelihood of the people. There is no respite for the people from price rise, unemployment and corruption.

The Hindutva forces are resorting to aggressive communal activities. The Modi government’s patronage of the RSS and its outfits is aimed at communalising the educational, social and cultural institutions. There is rise in communal tensions in different parts of the country.

The Left parties decided to conduct a week long protest campaign between December 8 to 14, 2014 on the following issues:

(i) Against steps to curtail and dilute the MNREGA
(ii) Curb price rise; control exorbitant price of medicines and drugs
(iii) No increased FDI in insurance.
(iv) Take firm action to unearth black money
(v) Stop infiltration of the RSS and Hindutva ideology in education, public broadcasting media and other institutions of the State.
(vi) Stop the “love jihad” hate campaign and other forms of communal propaganda
(vii) Stop attacks on minorities and their rights
(viii)Fight violence against women and all forms of gender oppression
(ix) Fight against atrocities on dalits and caste oppression

Formation of Communist Party of India, 17 October 1920

CPI formation, CPI(M)

Communist Party of India has crossed 94 years after its formation on 17th October 1920. It was in Tashkent that the CPI in exile was formed.The founding members of the party were M.N. Roy, Evelyn Trent Roy, Abani Mukherji, Rosa Fitingof , Mohammad Ali , Mohammad Shafiq Siddiqui, Rafiq Ahmed, M.P.B.T. Acharya and Sultan Ahmed Khan Tarin.

During the last 94 years much has happened. The Party started its units in India. The British Government was much worried it took all actions to finish the party. Conspiracy cases were foisted on the Communists and cruelly punished. But this crisis was utilised by the party comrades to propagate the message of communism.

Party had to face several challenges at each and every stage. It was victimised by both the British and Congress Governments.

The internal crisis resulted in the party being divided, and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) was formed in 1964. CPI(M) became the leading Communist Party which became the ruling party in 3 states viz. Kerala, W.Bengal and Tripura now and then.

The party Congress of the CPI(M) is going to be held in 2015 at Visakhapatnam which will review the present situation, the defeat in the 2014 elections and organisational matters. Despite several backlashes, the party has bounced back, and it is sure that the CPI(M) come to the forefront politics again.

Coal Gate: Govt. admits “Some thing has gone wrong”

2G, Coal Gate, SC, UPA govt.

The Central Government was compelled to admit in the Supreme Court that “Something has gone wrong”in the allocation of the Coal Blocks, while the hearing was going on yesterday, 9th January. Attorney General G.Vahanvati stated the same for the government.
The government had no other alternative to admit wrong doing in the face of umpteen evidences, both oral and by records.
The central government’s move to put the state governments also in the scam was completely opposed by all the concerned state governments including those ruled by the Congress, stating that it was entirely the responsibility of the former to allot the blocks and the latter have no role in the same.
The UPA government has been in the middle of so many scams involving lakhs of crores of rupees including the 2G Scam. The Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been presiding over a scam tainted government. In the Coal Gate Scam, the Prime minister himself was the Coal Minister.
