New Delhi : Mounting a sharp political offensive against the BJP-led Indian government, the Communist Party of India \u2013 Marxist (CPI-M) said that the ruling dispensation has deepened economic distress, weakened democratic institutions, fueled communal polarisation and suppressed dissent. It also called for a united struggle of secular and progressive forces against the \u201cRSS-BJP\u2019s authoritarian and Hindutva-corporate agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the sharp remarks came in a communiqu\u00e9 issued after the three-day meeting of the CPI-M Central Committee held in Delhi. The left party announced that it would launch nationwide campaigns during the upcoming Parliament session on women\u2019s reservation, protection of voting rights and opposition to the newly operationalized labour codes.<\/p>\n
The meeting reviewed the recent assembly election results, assessed the growing influence of right-wing politics and outlined an extensive India-wide campaign on issues ranging from unemployment and rising fuel prices to electoral reforms, labour rights and attacks on minorities and democratic freedoms.<\/p>\n
The Central Committee expressed serious concern over the consolidation of Hindutva forces in society and the BJP\u2019s rise to power in West Bengal. It warned that although the BJP won only a limited number of seats in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, its expanding social reach in these states remained \u201ca matter of deep concern\u201d for secular and democratic forces.<\/p>\n
In a strong attack, the party said that the BJP-led Indian government was attempting to manipulate the proposed delimitation exercise for electoral advantage. It said that linking women\u2019s reservation with delimitation was aimed at weakening the political influence of southern states, where the BJP continues to remain relatively weak, reflecting a broader pattern of using state institutions for political gains.<\/p>\n
The Committee also criticized the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, saying lakhs of voters were being denied their constitutional right to vote on flimsy grounds. It added that the judiciary also failed to safeguard voting rights, while electoral rolls were being manipulated in favour of the ruling party.<\/p>\n
On the economic front, the CPI-M painted a grim picture of the Indian economy, citing rising unemployment, distress among MSMEs, a deepening agrarian crisis and widening inequality. It also expressed solidarity with workers\u2019 protests in Uttar Pradesh, saying the BJP government there was suppressing labour movements through arrests and police action.<\/p>\n
On communal issues, the CPI-M criticised the recent Madhya Pradesh High Court judgment in the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque dispute, saying it violated the Places of Worship Act, 1991, and risked reopening historical and religious disputes that could deepen communal divisions.<\/p>\n
The communiqu\u00e9 also highlighted growing crimes against women, Dalits and Adivasis. Referring to the recent gang rape in a moving bus in Delhi, it said casteist and patriarchal attitudes had become entrenched under BJP rule, making justice increasingly difficult for victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
