Madurai, Apr 3: CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Manik Sarkar accused the Modi government of consolidating a Hindutva-authoritarian regime over the past 11 years. Speaking at the 24th CPI(M) Congress in Madurai, he alleged that the BJP-RSS axis has subverted democracy, secularism, and federalism while strengthening corporate ties.Sarkar highlighted rising unemployment, price hikes, and agrarian distress, claiming that minorities are being persecuted. He praised Tamil Nadu’s Samsung factory workers for their 38-day strike against repression. The CPI(M) Congress, he said, will strategize to unite secular and democratic forces against BJP-RSS and intensify struggles for workers, peasants, Dalits, women, and minorities.
He also warned of rising American imperialism post-Trump and emphasized the need for stronger anti-imperialist campaigns.
Meanwhile, Coordinator of the Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) Prakash Karat said on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government represent he Hindutva-corporate nexus that is closely allied to US imperialism.
Speaking at the inaugural session of the 24th Congress of the Communist Party
of India-Marxist, Karat said it is the BJP-RSS and the Hindutva-corporate nexus underpinning it that needs to be fought and defeated.
Posing three question on who claims to be the friend of Donald Trump?, he asked Who is the close friend of Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani?, Who owes total loyalty to the RSS?.
The answer to all these three questions is the same – Narendra Modi and the
BJP, Karat said as Modi and his government represent the Hindutva-corporate nexus that was closely allied to US imperialism and it is the BJP-RSS and the Hindutva-corporate nexus underpinning it that needs to be fought and defeated.
From coming to such an easy conclusion, a more complex question arises of how to fight the BJP-RSS combine effectively, so as to isolate them and reverse the rightward shift.
