The 21st
Congress of the Stalinist Communist Party of India (Marxist), closes to its end with little
fervor and apparent failure to implore any enthusiasm among its cadres. The 5
day Congress of the largest Stalinist left party in India, convened in coastal City of Vishakhapatnam, in South-East India, was a fiasco in terms of political manifestation.
The
Congress, was marred with factional strife inside the CPI (M) for the run up to
the top post of General Secretary and for entry and exit to the Central
Committee of the Party. Factions led by Prakash Karat and Sitaram Yechury were
at loggerheads for control over the central organs and committees of the Party.
Far from
dwelling into or debating the issues facing the working class and the socialist movement
in India and over the globe, the two groups pondered over the common concern
how to embrace the bourgeois left more closely.
