AICC leader flays CPI(M)

Special Correspondent

Thiruvananthapuram: Yogendra Makwana, Chairman of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe wing of the All India Congress Committee, has said that Communism is confined to the name of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).

Inaugurating a three-day study camp of the Bharatiya Dalit Congress here on Saturday, he said that it had become a capitalists’ party through its activities.

The former Union Minister felt that the CPI(M) could not go back to its heydays again. The conference of Dalits convened by the party recently was a case of belated wisdom. It would not get Dalits’ support any longer. The government could not implement land reforms. Even though the Nayanar Government made an attempt, it could not make any progress because of the party’s opposition. The Chief Minister’s talk about second land reforms was mere lip service.

Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president Ramesh Chennithala, who delivered the keynote address, said that the meetings being convened by the CPI(M) now were on the bases of caste and religion. The exit of Dalits from the party was behind the convening of the recent Dalits’ convention. It was trying to spread communal hatred in society. It had lost its secular image, he added.
