March Forward Towards 8th Left Front Government Call of the Red Brigade



History has been created at the 13th February Brigade Parade Ground as the upsurge of more than a million of people has taken oath to form 8th Left Front government. It is indeed hard to recall such a historic assemblage of common people in the last one or two decades. It is not only a big bash to the TMC-Maoist anarchist force but also the TMC-led intelligentsia who deserve the final lesson that people’s power triumphs ultimately over the sponsors of political violence, anarchy and individual elitism. Leaving therefore all moots of political unrest far behind, people of West Bengal rallied the biggest ever in Brigade Parade Ground. The Red Brigade affirmed the glorious contribution of all martyrs killed by the TMC-Maoist nexus while defending the state and the Left Front government.
The 13th February Red Brigade also rediscovered the historic Left Political Consolidation even after the six decades of political reliance and struggle in West Bengal since 1952. Such a political consolidation not only unified the toiling people in the state but could also initiate all developmental transformation of peoples’ lives and struggle in West Bengal. Speakers of all left parties have essentially reiterated about the Left Unity in the coming assembly election.
The Left Front Chairman Biman Basu at the outset elaborated the prime issues of protest and affirmed the foundation of the 8th Left Front government. He appealed to the Red Brigade to sustain all developmental initiatives of the Left Front government. Staunchly criticizing the TMC-Maoist conspiracy Basu reiterated that since the last parliamentary elections the rightist political anarchy and planned political violence have already killed many common innocent people to spoil the democratic environment of the state. We therefore must resist the TMC-Maoist anarchy. No explanation was there when they killed little Jharna Mandi and Sumana Mandi. They have been brutally killing ICDS workers and many other innocent public officials. He appealed to the mass to overthrow the TMC-Maoist unholy nexus which have killed 377 workers of CPI(M) and other Left Front parties.
Basu alleged that ‘sharecroppers are being assaulted regularly and their lands largely being snatched by TMC landlords and TMC led panchayats. The Left Front government has initiated lots of developmental programmes not only for the organized labourers but also the unorganized labour force. To sustain such initiatives and ensure the development of the common mass we must organize people to form 8th Left Front government. Only the left front government can fulfill the expectation of peasantry and industrial forces in West Bengal, averred Biman Basu.
Addressing such a mammoth rally the Chief Minister of West Bengal Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee slammed the UPA government and the violent TMC-Maoist link in the state. He reiterated that the obnoxious political combination went its farthest extent in these years that baffled a minor chunk of people away from the Left Front.
Bhattacharjee alleged that some external powers are out to oust the Left Front in the state. Without mentioning US, he hinted that some external forces are afraid of red flags anywhere in the world. ‘I strongly warn them not to intervene in the state’, he said among roars from the mass.
Bhattachrjee said, ‘They want change; what sort of change would they bring in? We have provided land farmers; ensured share croppers’ rights, can they change it? We have developed 38000 villages; can they change it? We have generated employment; can they change it?’
Bashing out the second Congress-UPA government the Chief Minister reiterated that unprecedented corruption completely engulfed the UPA and the whole country where billions of public money has already been drained into bourgeois pockets where ‘who’s who’ of the UPA associates is involved. And when the food inflation goes beyond the tolerance they ridiculously argue that the reason of price rise lies in ‘the increasing purchasing power of people’ as people started consuming more. When we have pursued universal public distribution for the common people, they created a handful business people who are responsible for the food inflation and unprecedented price hike. Slamming the Congress as ‘unkind and brutal’ to the people the Chief Minister averred that the Congress has given enough patronage to those illicit hoarders of the country who perpetrate ‘black marketing’ particularly of Sugar and Onions and many other essential commodities. These people are also responsible to drain out such commodities in the name of export when the internal markets are soaring of food inflation.
Unlike other states of the country the West Bengal government has done considerably for minority people particularly Muslims. In rural areas Muslim people are all happily engaged in agriculture. They have made a considerable progress in education also. We must keep the stream of success on in our state, averred Bhattacherjee.
Bhattacharjee alleged that TMC was an anarchist party, could only perpetrate anarchy and violence in the state. TMC leaders have provided oxygen to the Maoists and identified common innocent people and party workers to kill them. Now they remain silent when violence has also hit the hills of North Bengal, as TMC has a close understanding with the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha. We must teach them a lesson in the coming election.
Addressing the youth brigade the Chief Minister stated that Mamata Banerjee’s Railway Ministry also is on the verge of complete bankruptcy. She is also very reluctant to fill up empty posts in different categories of employment. She can’t generate a single employment, averred Buddhadeb Bhattacherjee.
I specially congratulate the Youth and Students who have responded so hugely particularly in Colleges and other institutions. We must convince those people, either been baffled out or dissatisfied with the Left Front, about the imminent danger of the TMC-Maoist extremism”, affirmed Chief Minister.
The Red Brigade has also observed the birth centenary of the noted Revolutionary Poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz. Addressing the crowd the CPI(M) Central Committee member Md. Salim recited the invaluable lines of Faiz.
Manju Kumar Majumdar of CPI, RSP leader Kshiti Goswamy, Barun Mukherjee from Forward Block, Md Amin from CPI(M), Shyamali Gupta from CPI(M), Kironmoy Nanda from SP were among others who addressed the meeting.
While summing-up the Left Front Chairman Biman Basu has made an appeal to the mass that wasting not a moment we must initiate election preparation now. The huge rally of the mass however has taken oath to march forward to establish 8th Left Front government.
