CPI(M) urges Opposition unity, criticises Congress over INDIA bloc stance

Published by Webster

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has called for the revival of the Opposition INDIA bloc following the recently held Assembly election results, but alleged that the Congress, the largest constituent of the alliance, took a stand contrary to unity-building. “The attitude of the Congress towards other opposition parties does not help build the unity of secular forces in a united fight against the RSS-BJP, which is the need of the hour,” said a party statement issued on Monday after the Central Committee (CC) met in New Delhi from May 22 to 24 to assess recent Assembly election outcomes. It condemned allegations that CPI(M) had a “deal” with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Kerala polls, calling them malicious and baseless.

With well over the halfway mark of 148 in the 294-member House within striking distance, the BJP’s early momentum pointed to a possible breakthrough, while the ruling TMC scrambled to close the gap in what is emerging as a fiercely contested and potentially game-changing electoral battle.

Published by Parlour News

The mandate of the just concluded elections is decisive for the National Conference as a political party, could pose difficulties for it as it runs the government and is potentially disruptive for the politics of Jammu and Kashmir. J&K is a complex region whose politics has just become more complicated. Apart from the historical alienation of the Valley from the Union, politics within the erstwhile state seems to have become completely polarised. The mandate is virtually along communal lines, which cannot augur well for either the state or the country. This election will go down in the electoral history of J&K as the one in which Muslims of J&K, who have never been a political category, have been made one.
