Congress commends Mr. Chakraborty for expressing displeasure CPI(M) central committee to meet on July 19 and 20 KOLKATA: Subhas Chakraborty, a member of the State Secretariat of the CPI(M) in West Bengal, has apologised for his public utterances expressing unhappiness with the idea of party MPs voting alongside those of the BJP in the trust vote in the Lok Sabha on July 22. The party’s central committee had sought the views of the State Secretariat on this matter. Biman Bose, the Secretary of the CPI(M)’s State Committee, said here on Friday that Mr. Chakraborty “has admitted that it was his fault and that he should not have made those remarks in public but done so within the party.” Mr. Chakraborty had also said earlier this week that he would write to CPI(M)’s general secretary Prakash Karat on the issue.Asked whether the CPI(M) leadership would take action against Mr. Chakraborty, Mr. Bose said: “If someone admits ones mistake, what is there to be done?” In the State Assembly, leader of the Congress Legislature Party Manas Bhunia commended Mr. Chakraborty for expressing displeasure over the move of his party MPs to vote alongside the BJP against the UPA government. Mr. Chakraborty, who is the State’s Transport Minister, was present in the House that later discussed the budgetary outlay for his department. The CPI(M) central committee would meet in New Delhi on July 19 and 20 in the run up to the trust vote to take a stock of the political developments. While a whip had been issued to CPI(M) MPs to vote against the government in the trust vote, Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee was exempted, Mr. Bose said. “Whips [by a party] are never issued on a Speaker. The existing decorum has been maintained .”
