Fight BJP Call from mass rally of North 24 Parganas at Calcutta Dunlop Management politics keeps factory shut

The CPI(M) has given a call to fight the BJP unitedly. Addressing a huge rally in Calcutta, leader after leader of the CPI(M) urged the people to rise against the fascist and anti-people polirices of the BJP government and said that it was high time to fight the trend of communalism unleashed by the saffron party unitedly. The Left Front chairman, Sailen Dasgupta, said that the people were aware of the dangers but the BJP had succeeded in dividing the people on communal lines , thus taking away any possibility of a united struggle. However, Dasgupta said that the CPI(M) was equal to the occasion and a massive propaganda campaign highlighting the failures and disruptive policies of the BJP would be taken up by the party.

The state secretary of the CPI(M), Anil Biswas, said that the BJP government, which had been in office for only four months, had succeeded in breaking apart the polity of the nation. Privatisation, which was the BJP’s main plank, was proving to be disastrous and sectors like power and banking had already risen in protest against this. The BJP had lost the faith of the people and was selling the country to multinationals, he said. Of the 1,000 profitable organisations throughout Asia, 13 belonged to India . All these 13 companies were selling shares to multinationals a and this could prove to be the deathknell of Indian industry.
