MANMOHAN CONGRESS SARKAR & COMMUNIST
PARTY. T.S.PABLA. UK
The outcome of the election came as a
surprise but, of course, the ruling class has nothing to fear from
Congress-it is their party, a bourgeois party. In their previous 45
years in power they did not solve a single problem of the masses,
and faithfully served the interests of the ruling class. The
bourgeoisie can not solve one of the problem of Indian society.
Their politicians are corrupt and venal.( 9 corrupt minister
including LALU railway Minister) Congress party promised to abolish
the caste system. They have not. They promiseed to solve the
agrarian problem.They have not. They promised to modernise the
country. They have not. Their government must not be propped up by
the parties of the working class and the village poor. The communist
parties must not enter in to deals and pacts to prop up an
anti-working class government.
The Indian bourgeoisie once claimed
(CONGRESS PARTY) to be secular, democratic and even
“SOCIALIST”. More recently we have seen the ugly face of reaction in
the shape of the BJP. It was responsible for the ghastly anti-muslim
pogroms in Gujarat. Behind it stands the openly communalist
Rashtriya Swamyamsewak Sangh (RSS) and the quasi-fascist SHIV
SENA.This turn to the right politically coincided with the turn to
brutal, neo-liberal, ant-working class economic class policies. Both
reflect the inability of the bourgeoisie to play any progressive
roll in Indian society. The Congress is equally guilty of this
crime. In 1984 the Congress Party condoned the massacre of Sikhs (
Rs. 1000.00 per head.INDIAN EXPRESS, 1984.). Congress was re-elected
in the general election riding on the reactionary wave of communal
frenzy that followed the SIKH slaughter.
The workers of India cannot place
their trust in the Congress led govt. (Bourgeoisie). The worker’s
parties ( Left parties) must not prop up their government of crooks.
They cannot support either of the two groups of rival gangsters who
have disputed for political power for so many years and have given
nothing to the masses (80 %) but pain and misery. Half a century is
long enough to judge the historical potential of the Indian Brutal
landlords and capitalists. They have been weighed, they have
measured and they have been found wanting. India's upper class live
more 0pulently than the rich in America.,while its poor are chained
to poverty levels compareable to Africa.They have squandered the
wealth of India and condemned its people to penury. They have
transformed what should be a paradise in to a hell on earth. They do
not deserve to rule and Communist should not participate at all.
The CPI , CPI (M), CPI (M-L), have a
mass base among the workers and peasants of India. Even on the
electorol front which provides us with a far from complete picture-
the CPs combines won 27.5 million votes(64 MPs). They must break
with the bourgeoisie and begin a campaign of mass mobilizations.
There must be no concession to the idea that opposing Congress will
allow BJP back in. This is not a question of the lesser of two
evils. With such mass support in society the Communist parties
should be raising the need for a workers’ and peasant’s government.
Such campaign would receive the enthusiastic support of millions of
workers, peasants, dalits and members of the oppressed
nationalities. It would instantly cut the ground from beneath the
feet of communalists and reactionaries. If the working people of
India were strong enough to defeat the BRITISH RAJ, they are strong
enough to defeat the brutal Indian Landlords and capitalist. Only
the working class can show a way out of this terrible impasse by
revolutionary means. The Indian working class is the most powerful
in the region. It has very militant traditions.
