Karat rules out inner-party tussle

Ruling out any inner tussle within the party over review of political tactical line, CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat today said the party recognises that the fight against communalism requires broader mobilisation of all Left, democratic and secular forces.
Karat also lashed out at a section of media for misinterpreting the political deliberations in the party's central committee and that the party will not change its way of functioning and methods of discussions.
"Our endeavour is to build united struggles of the working class, peasantry. This unity is sought to be disrupted by the communal forces that is gaining ground in West Bengal and India. So it is absolutely imperative to strengthen the CPI(M), Left forces as a whole and rally the Left and democratic forces.

"....Our party also recognises that fight against communalism requires broader mobilisation of all democratic and secular forces. We have to unite all the democratic and secular forces to fight off the communal forces in the country and the state," Karat said in a party programme.
Lashing out at the Trinamool Congress as a "corrupt ...Party of criminals", Karat accepted that there was a need to rebuild and reorganise the party in the state in the backdrop of recent reverses that the party had faced.
The CPI(M) General Secretary said discussions within the party was on to thrash out a political tactical line, which should be effective to meet the right wing offences.

"We have decided to fashion out a political tactical line which should be effective to meet the right wing offences. And in order to do that we have to examine our political tactical line that we have pursued. We have to see how it has been implemented how it has been pursued, if there are any shortcoming or weakness is there," Karat said.
He said the party needs to fight both the neo-liberal and communal forces in the country.
