i think there is a oppurtunity coming again to us to 'look within'. you can go in to the naming games by calling our enimies 'facists, goons, imperialists, etc.' the fact is our constituents namely the working class, the small peasentry, the tribals and the minority are angry at us, they are out to teach us a lesson.
only people who are blind can ignore this verdict.
we have to openly come out with a corrected development agenda. our industrialisation policy has be squarely rejected. our land aquisition drive has been rejected.
our conduct of unilaterally taking decisions on behalf of the left front and the people of bengal has been rejected.
we have to correct it. we have to make it known, not secretly within the party forums
but openly infront of the people.
now we come across as an isulated entity. come what may what we say is correct. the votes, verdict are because of the 'misguided' people led by propoganda. this makes people more angry at us.
we should apolozise openly where ever necessary. for example the rizwanur case, the firing in nandigram, the torture of tribal women in lalgarh, the non implementation of ngrea in the state, the low participation of the minority in govt services etc.
the tribals celebrating when breaking down the only bunglow in the area of com? anooj pandey has to be interpreted in the right perspective.
generally it is perceived that the armed state police, the crpf and the anti maoist special forces went into lalgarh not to establish the law of the land but to protect the cadres of the cpm.
our comrades inside the party should expose comrades? like laxman seth and anooj pandey.
heads should roll who were responsible for the misjudging the cases i have mentioned above.
the heads should include the party authorities and the administrative authorities.
time is running out...
or you can always blame the burgeous press, the fascists, the imperialists, the cia, al-queda,the goons and the under armed cadres of the cpm for the defeat.
i did not mention the capitalists, since it is percieved they are on the side of the cpm.
then the way out is clear, a civil war but this time only between workers, only between peasents, only within common people.
i hope this time we don't lose the oppurtunity to look within. the c.c report is a good begining.
i read a disturbing news.
tamilnadu.
the workers, the govt employees and the minorities did not vote for us.
because of our alliance with jayalalitha.
the majority of the state committee was against the alliance. it was the insistance from the polit buerau that they finally gave in.
if it is true. then democratic centralism is centralistic democracy. its dangerous.
please comment.

prakash kutty.
