The Trinamool Congress supports an “oppressive” political order just as much as the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Biman Bose, State Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), has said.
“The economic policy of the State's main opposition party, the Trinamool Congress, is no different from that of the Congress or the BJP. If I were to give an analogy, I would say that the Congress, the BJP and the Trinamool Congress are born of the same mother's womb,” Mr. Bose said here on Sunday. Mr. Bose said that like the Congress and the BJP, the Trinamool worked for the interests of the landlords in the villages and the industrialists and capitalists in the cities.
Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee had also expressed the same view at a recent political rally where he had said that in the past the Congress protected the interests of the landlords, a mantle that the Trinamool had taken over.“Given the policies of the State, we are forced to raise certain issues against the oppressive political order, drawing our inspiration from Marx and Engels,” Mr. Bose said at a function to observe the birth anniversary of Friedrich Engels.
Protest Day
During the day, supporters of the CPI(M) observed a Protest Day against the recent violence witnessed in Kherjuri in West Bengal's Purba Medinipur district. Leaders of the CPI(M) have alleged that party supporters, who had been evicted from their homes, were returning but were prevented from doing so by the Trinamool. Party supporters organised a series of meetings and demonstrations at street corners across the State to register their protest.
