The Five State Assembly Elections Could be a Check on the BJP ’ s Authoritarian Fascist Tendencies
The Assembly elections in five states - Kerala , Tamil Nadu , Bengal , Assam and Puducherry - reflect the power scuffle between the ruling parties . After the BJP came to power for the second time in the Center , the voters in all the three states repelled its Hindutva agenda , maniacal slogans of One Country , One Religion , One Language . It is like a tight slap on BJP which brought in authoritarian and fascist methods to the forefront to serve the compradors - corporates and be a crusader to their imperialist policies . The results of the Assembly elections will surely be a check on the conspiracies of the BJP , which has trampled on all democratic values , to overthrow non-BJP Governments in other states and the dominant politics and fanatical sectarianism that undermines the sentiments of the people of non-Hindu religions .
The agitations taking place on the borders of Delhi and elsewhere against the anti-democratic , anti-labour , anti-agrarian laws passed in Parliament disregarding the parliamentary democracy that exists to some extent and the working class and the middle class movement against the arrogant move to privatize the steel industry have already become a check . The results of this election could become a major check .
Fascist tendencies are invalidated and it is not possible for any party in India which would be instrument to the imperialists and wants to impose fascism on Indian people . Voters in Bengal , Kerala and Tamil Nadu are to be applauded for defying sectarianism and striving for religious harmony . In the same context , the people of Bengal must not ignore the Trinamool dictatorship that has come to power . The people who repelled the bigger danger will push back the local danger and uphold secular and democratic values . The day is not too far when people of all linguistics and ethnicity look towards Bengal .
After the death of Jayalalitha in Tamil Nadu , the Tamil people have been watching the conspiracy by BJP to overthrow the AIDMK and gain a foothold in Tamil politics by intercepting the governor . This verdict of the Assembly elections is giving hope that the people of Tamilnadu will not let go of their secular and rational ideology . However , the Tamil people need to be vigilant that the DMK does not succumb to the Indian comprador bourgeoisie and imperialist policies .
Even though it is the custom of the people of Kerala not to elect those who ruled in the previous term for another term , voters must be reacting to the failures of the previous administration . Everyone recognizes the fact that the actions taken by the government in the worst scenario caused by the floods and during Covid-19 have satisfied the people . However , the comrades sitting within the framework of the bourgeoisie cannot oppose the policies of the bourgeoisie and Imperialism . The people of Kerala are cognizant of the fact that Revolutionaries outside the framework can only oust the bourgeoisie and Imperialism someday . contd . on page 3
