CPI(M) sees conflict between Yechury, Karat factions

New Delhi, 7 SeptemberThe Communist Party of India (Marxist) is heading for a showdown between party chief Sitaram Yechury and the faction that former party chief Prakash Karat leads. The flashpoint is likely to be reached in the coming months when the party Central Committee sits to discuss its draft political resolution for the next Party Congress in Hyderabad from April 18 to 22.Karat, including several of the party's Kerala unit leaders, have argued in the party's politburo that the CPI (M) should fight against the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party government and its policies, but not have any truck with the Congress, or other opposition parties. The previous Party Congress in 2015 had adopted this 'political tactical line'.This line had meant the Central Committee voting against a third Rajya Sabha term for Yechury with the support of the Congress, and criticising the electoral understanding with the Congress in the 2016 West Bengal assembly polls.The current 'political ...

New Delhi, August 29The Communist Party of India (Marxist) is coming for increasing criticism from several of the Opposition parties, including ally Communist Party of India (CPI), for abdicating its historical responsibility to fight "fascist forces".Several Opposition leaders have conveyed their displeasure to the CPI (M) top brass for the party's absence from Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad's Opposition unity 'BJP Bhagao, Desh Bachao' (Banish BJP, Save Country) rally in Patna on Sunday.Clarifying his party's stand, CPI (M) chief Sitaram Yechury on Tuesday said his party will not be a constituent of any electoral alliance that involves the Congress.RJD's Prasad, some of the Congress leaders, rebel Janata Dal (United) leader Sharad Yadav and CPI's D Raja have told the CPI (M) top leadership that its strategy was myopic and weakened the joint effort needed to fight Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)- Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).The CPI, the left ally of the CPI (M), was ..

Need to build alternative narrative around Modi govt's failures: CPI (M)

New Delhi, 31 MayCalling for the need to build an alternative narrative against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that focusses on Narendra Modi government's failures to deliver on its promises of jobs to youths and reducing farm distress, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) today released a report card of the three years of the Narendra Modi government.Party chief Sitaram Yechury said the forthcoming presidential election will be the test of Opposition unity for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Some among non-National Democratic Alliance (NDA) - like Telangana Rashtra Samiti, YSR Congress and AIADMK - are willing to support a BJP nominee, with the result that the electoral college numbers stacked against any Opposition nominee.But Yechury disagreed. "Politics is not arithmetic. In arithmetic, two plus two is four. But in politics two plus two can be zero, but it can also be 22. Please don't mechanically reduce it to arithmetic," he said.Yechury and politburo member Brinda Karat ...
