" Once upon a time, there was a party called the Communist Party of India (Marxist)..."
Very soon that is how we will read the articles on the CPM
Almost there!
Today its parliamentary strength is at the lowest since the party's formation in 1964. It has, in a very Stalinist posture, decided NOT to reveal any conclusions on the reasons why they had such a pathetic showing despite being the powers behind the scene in the previous Government for almost 4 out of its 5 years in power.
Instead, they seem even more confused on sorting out the internecine warfare in its Kerala unit. That, the birthplace of threw communist movement in India.
The fight between two groups, one headed by the state party secretary, Pinarayi Vijayan, and the other by the chief minister, V S Achuthanandan, has paralysed administration in the state and contributed to the Left Front's defeat in the Lok Sabha polls.
To seem effective Mr Prakash Karat, this week, after an unusual two-day session to discuss this factionalism in Kerala, chose to expel the Chief Minsiter, a founding leader of the organisation, from the party's highest decision-making body, the politburo.
However, Vijayan has been allowed to continue as state chief even though he faces a CBI case over his alleged role in the multi-crore SNC Lavalin corruption case.
Truly Karat and Stick.
A few answers needed :
Is it acute schizophrenia ?
Why has a leader been expelled from the Apex party forum yet heads the state Government ?
Why is this party of the masses (?) that apparently swears by probity in public office defending a leader facing corruption charges ??
If at all, how will they account for the consequences and who will be accountable?
