ML-Class Struggle: STATEMENT FROM BIHAR STATE COMMITTEE OF COMMUNIST PARTY OF iNDIA (MARXIST

Statement from Bihar State committee of Communist Party of India (Marxist – Leninist) CPI(ML)

Defeat BJP led NDA Alliance.

Reject the Grand Alliance of JD (U), RJD & Congress!

Vote for the Communist Revolutionaries, Left, Democratic & Patriotic forces!

Bharatiya Janata Party, under the guidance of its mentor organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, is spreading, as well as helping other Sangh outfits, communal ideology and politics to divide the people of different religious faiths in different parts of the country including Bihar. These organizations indulge in vicious rumour mongering to foment hatred among people having different

religious faiths, leading to social tension and also in some places communal riots.

RSS, with the support of the Central Govt. is placing its people in important positions in institutions of national importance like Indian council of Historical Research (ICHR), IITs (Indian Institute of Technology ), IIMs (Indian Institute of Management), Film Institute in PUNE, to name a few. Not only that BJP Govt. in Gujarat and Haryana have introduced,so called history books by Batra, which depicts mythology as real history of India, in school curriculum of the respective states.

BJP Govt. at the centre and states are making Herculean efforts to take away whatever rights the working class and peasantry have at present. This Govt. has tried its best to amend the Land Acquisition Act in favour of Indian corporate and Business Houses, and Foreign Multinational Corporations. Effort is to amend the law in a way that makes it possible to snatch the land of peasants and gift it to the Foreign MNCs and Indian Industrial and Business Classes.The labour law is being amended to suit the afore said exploiters and looters in a way that workers

could be hired and fired at the will of the Industrial and Business Classes.

Narendra Mod’s principal slogan of “Make in India” is an effort to invite foreign based multinational corporates (mostly from imperialist countries) in a big way to invest in India. For this Modi Govt. is trying to provide them cheap land, cheap labour, cheap raw materials (mineral, water, power etc), so that they could get large benefits from these investments. In the process the peasants, the workers, the unemployed, etc. would suffer badly.

Considering all these facts BJP led alliance is the main enemy of common people and democratic progress of the country. Hence they must be defeated in the election.

The Grand Alliance of Janata Dal (United), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Congress is contesting the election together in the name of fighting communalism. But these parties have ruled the state for long time and ignored the needs and aspirations of the people. RJD and JD (U) are claiming to be the champions of social justice. But these parties have ruled the states for nearly two decades but the condition of the people is extremely bad. Congress also ruled this state for decades, which did not solve the problems of the people. Bihar still is very backward and poor.

The development model of NDA, UPA or Grand Alliance is the same i.e., the policy of imperialist globalization, privatization and liberalization, which favours the rich and robs the poor. These parties divide the people on caste lines, and take their support. After the election these parties indulge in opportunist and corrupt politics, and serve the interest of the Indian ruling classes, big comprador bourgeoisie, landlords, contractors and imperialist institutions. So people should reject these forces

in the election.

In this situation people should support the Communist Revolutionaries, left, democratic and patriotic forces. The left parties, though they have taken a reformist and compromising approach towards the ruling system, oppose the Central Govt. efforts to suppress the workers, peasants and other sections of the people. These parties also oppose communalism politically and ideologically. So, we offer them a critical support, we criticize their vacillation and

compromising approach towards the ruling classes, that we support them when they fight for rights of the workers, peasants and other sections of the masses.

With this approach CPI (ML) Bihar state committee appeals the people of Bihar to defeat communal, casteist, opportunist, pro-rich political forces and support CRs, left democratic and patriotic forces
