Imphal, February 22 2022:
While claiming that the BJP working at the behest of RSS handlers is harming the image of Indian democracy, Communist Party of India (CPI) national general secretary Doraisamy Raja has urged the people to end the BJP rule in the country.
Speaking to media persons at Hotel Imphal, here on Tuesdav, D Raja contended that BJP is the political branch of RSS and is advocating sectarian politics.
While observing that India will only progress when BJP is defeated, he reasoned that the Manipur Progressive Secular Alliance has been formed to defeat BJP in Manipur.
Denouncing failure of the BJP-led government to fulfil the assurances given during its term, the CPI leader said that the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi too did not fulfil promises made to the people.
BJP does not have the strength to discuss the issues raised by the people.
Moreover, those who spoke against the wrongdoings of BJP are termed as anti-national, Raja condemned.
He maintained that progress could not be brought by those who try to win people's mandate using money and muscle power.
So, people should cast their vote to candidates who will think and work for the people, Raja appealed.
The press conference was also attended by leaders of CPI and other left parties.
D Raja, who also attended a political conference held at the residence of CPI candidate in Kakching assembly constituency Yengkhom Roma Devi on Tuesday, said that even though BJP harps on development, instead of benefitting the needy their development model benefits corporates, while taxing the public.
While conveying that the CPI does not buy votes, but convinces the electors with its ideology, ethics and commitment of its workers, he said the party knows the importance of women and youth in development of India.
As such out of the two seats the party is contesting in ensuing election, it has fielded young and talented Y Roma in Kakching AC, he asserted.
Stating that RSS, which is the ideologue BJP and CPI were founded in the same year, D Raja remarked that while CPI fought for independence and unity, RSS had no role in the freedom movement.
Manipur has its unique history, with CPI playing an important role in.it.
The party is prepared to do the same in future also, he said and urged party workers to endeavour for the success of Y Roma from Kakching AC to bring a change in the state.
The conference was also attended by CPI national executive member M Nara Singh, Manipur State Council secretary L Sotinkumar Singh, secretariat members Sorojini Devi and G Tomba Sharma along with the candidate as the presidium members.
