Bhubaneswar: Accusing National Democratic Alliance (NDA) of "undermining" Parliamentary democracy and concentrating all powers in the prime minister's hands, the Communist Party of India on Wednesday said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) must be defeated in Bihar assembly polls. "Ever since BJP-led NDA came to power, Parliamentary democracy has been considerably undermined while all powers are concentrated with prime minister, this is dangerous," CPI National Secretary D. Raja said.
Asking BJP to remember that India does not have Presidential form of government, Raja charged NDA government of patronising corporates at the cost of poor farmers and being dictated by 'Sangh Parivar' outfits.
"BJP appears to have become a political arm of RSS. As a result, the social and secular fabric of the country is threatened and there seems to be a challenge to the Constitution," he claimed.
Under these circumstances, there is a need to stop and defeat BJP in the Bihar assembly election as it would have considerable impact on national politics, Raja said.
CPI, which has taken cognisance of the coming together of some political parties for polls in the east Indian state of Bihar, would consult other Left outfits on the issue before taking a decision, he said. Stating that the first priority is to strengthen unity and coordination among all Left Parties, he said CPI national council is slated to meet towards the end of the month and a decision on joining the alliance of Janata Dal- United (JD-U) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)could be taken then. Before that, the party would analyse the situation and see what kind of adjustments the other political parties are interested in, Raja said. On the question of Congress becoming a part of a secular front, the CPI National Secretary said Congress should review its neo-liberal economic policies which, he said, were responsible for soaring inflation and hitting common people hard. "Congress must change its economic policies," he said.Slamming Narendra Modi-Government for making tall claims about its one-year rule, Raja claimed it has done little for the poor and farmers and its promises of ensuring good days (achche din) and bringing back black money from abroad have been proved hollow.
