Rejected and Dejected, Stalinists reiterate the old Rhetoric of ‘Left-Democratic Unity’ in 21st Congress of the CPI(M)

- Rajesh Tyagi/ 19.4.2015

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.
