Karat is the worst thing since some unknown worthless leader that has happened to socialist politics.

Communists in India are real hypocrites.
They advocate anti-capitalism to you.
But their children are living in USA/EU.

learning the lessons from history - West Bengal Election
by shemej m on May 19, 2011 09:02 PM  | Hide replies


Those who refuse to learn the lessons from history, would eventually realize where their place is going to be...

Com. V.S. Achuthanandan opines (TV interview) "Bengal defeat is because of the deviation from party policies and because of its anti-peasant line. Though party tried to correct the mistakes, is not effective enough prevent the downturn"

A few years back Budhadeb ridiculed intellectuals like Prabhat Patnaik (when asked by CNN-IBN) that Left intellectuals are not in touch with reality, indirectly meaning they are all idiots.

The questions the CPI(M) leaders need to answer now is--
1) Who authorized Budhadeb to work as the Real Estate Broker of TATA? Under what clause of CPI(M) constitution, (not to talk about Indian Constitution), Budhadeb forcefully acquired land from farmers and allot to corporate at a subsidized rate? Remember, no policy announcement was made, which was applicable to all industries and all business- big and small-- prior to these forceful acquisitions and cold-blood massacre.

2) Who allowed Nirupam Sen to work as the sub-contractor of TATA's agent Nira Radia and allowed her to manipulate the Govt run institutions? What were the secret assurances given to TATA during the midnight talks just before TATA officially announcing the temporary halt of Nano project? What was the deal?

3) Wikileaks reveal that Budhadeb assured US Diplomats that, if CPI(M) refuse to approve neo-liberal policies, the party should perish. Remember, Budhadeb did not tell this to US diplomats in presence of others, only when they asked for a one to one secret meeting with Budhadeb. What was the need for Budhadeb to give this assurance to USA diplomats secretly? What was the deal? Why CPIM is not expelling him for this?

4) Even after CPIM rejecting the land grab policy of Budhadeb Govt, West bengal govt worked with Infosys and employed goons to evacuate land for Infosys. According to media reports, these thugs were close to CPIM leaders and they were employed in a secret understanding between Infosys and Budhadeb, as officially party polit bureau discouraged forcefully evicting land in the aftermath of Nandigram incident. Why is Budhadeb not arrested when the local landowner was murdered by the thugs employed by him? Why is he and Nirupam Sen not expelled from party even after he going against the spirit of party decision on land acquisition?

5) On several occasions, Budhadeb publicly claimed that I-T is an essential service and strike can not be allowed in IT industry. Which party policy states this? Why is this person not expelled from party even after going against cpim line?

6) CAG has categorically stated in its report that by allocating land to TATA at a subsidized rate, West Bengal govt incurred huge loss to the public exchequer. When CPIM is up in arms against DMK, Congress and Arun Shourie for similar scams, why the party is not expelling Budhadeb and Nirupam Sen? The answer given to me is that there is no evidence to show that Budhadeb got financially benefited. But what evidence exist to prove that Arun Shourie or Balakrishna Pillai got financially benefited? Political benefit and the conveniences he enjoys due to his connivence with TATA and Corporate Lobby is more serious than relatively paltry financial benefits.

7) It is a known fact that sections of Bengal CPI(M) leaders have publicly pushed for alliance with Congress during the Nuclear deal wrangle and during the pre-assembly election phase. This was after the Congress' deceitful manipulations during the Nuclear bill stand-off. And it is well known that these handful leaders prefer a Congress-Left govt in the center as these individuals are actively lobbying for the posts of Indian President, Prime Minister or other influential positions, as it is perceived that, in the event of Congress alliance failing to get simple majority in Parliament, th

Every political observer knows that what is for the best interest of CPIM is a third front comprising the Non-Congress, Non-BJP regional parties. Any National alliance with Congress is suicidal for many regional parties (eg: TDP, JD(S), AGP with all waverings). A pre-poll Third Front arrangement, even without winnability, and just as parking-slot, would only boost the chance of the emergence of third alternatives in various Indian States. When these are evident, no right thinking CPI(M) leader, except those who are inspired by personal ambitions, can push for conniving with Congress. The question is, why CPI(M) is allowin

Conservative thinking. First understand religion is individual's belief, as belief can be changed to, as has been to political parties. No question of who rules - only a human being is going to rule.

Of course the curse people of your state has made your state as the most literate state of India, whereas the parties you voted to power still keep your state STALE till date. It is a fact that your state has shown negative or lesser growth in population, the reason being, due to poor growth in other field - people are migrating to other states. I have stated the facts only. Understand the reality. As early as 70s when I was working in your state I see lot of people were going on procession right from 9 am till evening (in three different political parties) get money for their livlihood. Always Hartal. Who want to live in your state. All hardworking people left the state - only lazy people are there. Pl analyse reasonably. Dont get annoyed with emotions. It is the fact.

Communists
by siva none on May 19, 2011 07:20 AM

In my college days, I read many books including those by Karl Max.What is preached and practiced in our country (by those calling the followers)is nothing to do with ideals mentioned.
Secondly, communist party should not have split at all - if they are following it religiously.So, what happened at the behest of the masses is right.More people, more responsibilities and big tasks for all political parties. Unfortunately, politics is way of life for many anti-social elements in our country who exploit the masses.

it was not a anti commie VOTE!
by naresh sehgal on May 19, 2011 06:48 AM  | Hide replies

Poll pundits are analysing funnily these surprise less poll results.In Tamilnadu where anti congressism and may be slight aversion to North India is the theme; voters have only two corrupt alternatives : AIIDMK and DMK whom they rotate alternatively.Present DMK rulers have broken all past records on corruption so they were naturally to be replaced by exploited people of Tamilnadu/Puduchery.

Indian Muslims (constituting sizable population in W Bengal/Kerala /Assam ) as a game plan vote either COMMIES or COngis group parties to extract maximum booty ,although Commie/congi group parties foolishly think that they are exploiting/fooling Muslims getting their Solid VOTE BANK. In fact it is other way around as Muslim leadership through shifting their Vote bank between the two make them dance to their tunes.Commies have angered Muslim clergy so have been taught a lesson by Muslims.It is nothing like anti Commie vote.It is the same VOTE Bank game plan in which this time utterly communal congis pleased Muslim clergy by aligning with Muslim league and co - their old masked buddies since 1947 partition of India.Next time it can be other way round if congis do not properly lick boots (of course congis are masters in it )of Muslim fanatic leader ship ;who after creation of Pakistan laughingly through ditched congis like Jinnah,Ali brothers etc etc are now dreaming like Osama of the medieval come back of terror and law less ness in this part of world courtsey power greed of

The single most important reason for losing the election by Congies and DMK in Tamilnadu is Srilankan Issue. Most of the so called election pundits and party heads are in a denial mode by not accepting this fact. But, if you see the result, the DMK that called itself as the guardians of Tamils had been pushed to the third place with only 23 seats. The new party that was floated by actor Vijayakanth with just 8 years of political experience became the second largest party with 29 seats. That is the kind of anger and frustration by the TN people towards DMK and Congies. It is clear that the Congies have become untouchable party in TN. Whoever goes with Cogines would be defeated in TN. Moreover, DMK chief is shell shocked and there is no statement so far from him after the results were declared. He knows now that people cannot be fooled in the srilankan issue. He has really paid a heavy price.

If you see all the 5 seats that congies wons, they were possible because of BJP. The BJP secured more number of votes than the winning margin in 4 out of the 5 seats where congies won. That too, only unknown candidates won the elections for Congies and all the so called leaders faced a humiliating defeat in the hands of Vijayakanth's party. So, they should thank BJP for those 4 seats. The result is same in Pondichery also.

India needs a good scrub and wash. We need to wash off Marxism.
by Vishnu Sharma on May 19, 2011 06:41 AM  | Hide replies

When I was 23 year old and toured the South on summer vacations, I was a volunteer at the elephant camps at Dubara and Thrissur where they regularly bathed these pachyderms in chest deep water with soap-nut powder and stones to scrub away all the dirt and parasites.

I have looked at the elephant in the eye while scrubbing it with a smooth stone and massaging its forehead. It would emit gurgling and deep resonating sounds of contentment. After a good wash, it stood up and emerged out of the water and walked back to its bamboo enclosure with a swagger and a new purpose in its majestic gait.

Just as that elephant needed a good bath and a scrub, so also our nation needs a good scrub and wash which will eradicate the Marxist parasites and grime which pollute our political landscape forever.

What we need is the new spirit of NATIONAL DEMOCRACY which will invigorate an entire people and fill them with a purpose to bring about NATIONAL SALVATION on a massive scale.

The communist flags that you see in the pictures evokes nausea, let us replace those with flags bearing a symbol closely associated with our good Vishnu who protects and preserves.

The Shrivatsa or Endless knot is a bold new symbol for a new India.

We fervently hope communism and communist ideology are dead and cremated and never make a comeback in our sacred land.

Long live National Democracy.
