Vote for UF, Defeat BJP & Congress CPI(M): Central Committee Communique, Calcutta, 21-22 December, 1997


 

The country has been forced into a mid-term election due to the disruptive stance of the Congress in insisting on the baseless demand of the ouster of the DMK from the Union Government ...

The Congress party which learnt no lesson from its past record will have to pay a heavy price for this folly The Central Committee denounced the shameless efforts of the BJP to induce defections using money and blandishments of office to try and form the government at the centre. The BJP which became infamous for its forming the defector-criminal jumbo ministry in Lucknow, has now openly come out in support of corrupt practices. The BJP has become synonymous with unethical opportunism and unprincipled power-mongering. The BJP is desperately seeking allies in its pursuit of power at all costs. The combination of Hindutva and corrupt opportunism is the most reactionary alternative before the people. It represents the big  business, feudal elements and landlords who wish to see an authoritarian set-up which keeps the people divided on religious sectarian lines.

The Congress presents a picture of political bankruptcy and decay. Whether it be compromise with communalism, economic reforms at the behest of the  IMF-World Bank, or its record of corruption, the people are bound to reject such a party ... Stability requires commitments to secularism, national unity, federalism and pro-people economic growth. Only the UF can provide such a stable government.

The Central Committee calls upon the people:

* To elect the UF with a majority to form the central government.

* To defeat the BJP and the Congress ...

* To strengthen the representation of the CPI(M) and Left parties ...
