[Marxistindia] [Fwd: Surya Kanta Misra's press Conference]

[news from the cpi(m)]

CPI(M) West Bengal State Secretary Surjya Kanta Mishra said today (May 9,
2018) at a
press conference in Muzaffar Ahmad Bhavan*:

Intentional and motivated false, baseless propaganda is being spread that
the Left Parties  in West Bengal are fighting against the ruling Trinamool
by making an electoral understanding  with BJP. Both TMC and BJP are adding
fuel to this propaganda. Since 2014 they are trying for political
polarisation based on communal polarisation. Now they are initiating false
campaign against Left parties to hide their misdeeds.
Since last four years our slogan in West Bengal had been: oust BJP save the
country and oust TMC save Bengal. BJP is the main threat in the country and
they are operating under the direction of RSS . The unit of RSS has been
increased by 11 times since TMC has came to power in Bengal. They
schematically want to project BJP as the main opposition in Bengal. The
falsehood is being propagated against us to suppress this. The stories of
fighting out BJP with the help of TMC or opposing  TMC with assistance of
BJP are being spread to mislead people. We appeal to the people not to be
trapped.
Our party has publicly declared that if any party member maintain any
contact with BJP  or enemy camp he or she  will be summarily  expelled
 according to the Party constitution. Action has already been taken against
two such members . We are keeping close vigil and no compromise will be
made on this regard. If any non-Party member, supported by Party,  is found
to maintain any political relation with BJP or enemy camp then  Party will
immediately dissociate itself from that candidate even if he/she wins the
election.
TMC and BJP have always maintained a smooth match fixing among themselves.
Former AITC General Secretary Mukul Roy has been the recent example who is
now in BJP  camp.  Locket Chatterjee who is now a BJP leader was also
associated with TMC. But there is not even one such example can be shown
against any Left Leader. One can become their natural ally after expulsion
from Party but we're keeping strict vigil and  strict action will be taken
if any  party member found to be involved in any such contact with the
enemy camps.
In the Panchayat elections where there are no candidates for Left Front or
Left Front allies, our appeal to the people has been to support the
candidates who are politically fighting against TMC and BJP.
The picture of Rama Biswas taking part in a procession in Nadia district
has been completely misinterpreted. It is  not a procession of election
campaign. Villagers were organising a protest agianst the attack of the
ruling party in a village. Being the local MLA, Rama Biswas participated
 in the  procession.  It has nothing to do with any election campaign or
anykind of electoral understanding.
