policies to confront with US in Asia,
and Asia-pacific region.
The hegemonic policies of US
imperialism are facing increasing
protests,
opposition
and
resistance everywhere from the
oppressed people.
Thus the present political
situation in the world is quite
favourable for the working class,
oppressed
people,
anti-
imperialist, anti-hegemonic and
peace forces to develop unity
among themselves and intensify
the struggle. The Communist
Parties can provide the leadership
to the people in their countries and
advance the struggles only by
overcoming their disunities and
weaknesses and move with
initiative into the practice.
In India the BJP led NDA came
to power at the Centre by
capitalising the growing, peoples
discontentment against the
Congress led UPA Govt. In the last
four years, this regime has served
the landlords, big bourgeoisie and
imperialism in total obedience. At
the same time, the BJP and Sangh
Parivar forces have carried out
their fascist methods in the name
of Hindutva in an aggressive
manner. The Hindu communal,
reactionary and anarchist forces
have ruled to the roost in the
country. Murderous attacks were
waged in many parts of the
country against those with
scientific, progressive, rationalist
and democratic ideas. The BJP
and Sangh Parivar forces have
implemented a fascist trend as a
policy like being intolerant towards
and waging physical attacks on
those holding different ideologies
and ideas. They have gone all out
in their attacks against Dalits and
Muslims in the name of ‘Goraksha’
they sought to forcibly dictate the
dress code, food habits and the
life styles of people. They sought
Mar - Apr - 2018
to carry out the punishments of
their choice against those who
refused to obey them.
The BJP govt brought out
more rigorous repressive laws and
used brutal suppressive methods
to crush the democratic rights and
struggles of the people.
It used the slogans like ‘Make
in India’ and ‘Ease doing of
business’ to completely do away
with the gates of India for the flow
of foreign capital into India. The
Prime Minister has gone around
the countries to invite the
investments into the country.
Acting like a street hawker, he
sought to lure the foreign investors
with a promise of cheap labour,
skilled hands, minerals, land,
water, market and other
resources. It is reality a shameful
situation for a Head of the
government to so pathetically pray
for foreign investment.
Right in his first speech of
taking over as the president of BJP,
Amit Shah had declared
‘Congress Mukt Bharat’ as BJP’s
aim. Perhaps, it was consoling for
the non-congress parties to hear
this at that time. But, in reality, the
BJP’s aim was to pull down all the
non-BJP governments in the
states. The questions like when
and where it is to be attempted;
who is the first, and who is next
target; where and what co urse
should be adopted; the help of
which party or section be sought
to pull down a party from power;
how a party or a section or a leader
can be lured or subordinated are
pushed into troubles or remove
from the way – are a part of BJP’s
tactics. Destabilising the govern-
ments of its own allies or
supporters is also a part of BJP’s
aim. The BJP leaders have
behaved or are behaving as better
masters than the Congress in
utilising the Central power, financial
resources, the institutions like
CBI, Anti-Corruption to gain an
upper hand politically and grab
power in the states. The RJD-JDU
govt. in Bihar fell and BJP-JDU
govt. came only in this wake. Two
warring factions of AIADMK have
come together to form a pro-BJP
govt, in Tamilnadu. The govern-
ments in Odisha, Telangana and
AP began with an understanding
that, ‘we support BJP govt at the
Centre, and it must not destabilise
us in the state’. But the BJP’s
wishes and attempts to grab
power even in these states
continue. In Odisha, BJD and BJP
are now in a tug of war for power.
TDP and BJP in AP began with a
full of honey relationship. But the
relations now have worsened to
the extent of their Ministers quitting
the posts. Till a few days back, the
TRS of Telangana had all the
praise for the BJP govt. at the
centre. But now it is talking about
the need of non-congress and non-
BJP govt. at the Centre.
The BJP govt at the Centre
has reduced the struggle against
corruption into a farce. Many
scams have seen the light during
this period. It refuses to take
responsibility for the safe fleeing
of those who committed the
crimes (Like Neerav Modi) and
seeks to wash its hands saying
that these scams had began right
during the Congress regime. It is
keeping mum when questioned
how it chose yedyurappa, who is
neck deep in corruption, for the
CM post in Karnataka elections.
The BJP recites the congress
story of corruption. BJP is proving
itself as a past master in freely
using the caste, religion,
superstitions, money, lies, etc., in
the elections. The BJP had taken
the election campaign to lowest
levels. Raising the sentiments,
emotions, prejudices, shattering
