Reject BJP and Its’ Allies!
Expose the Ruling Class Parties!
Support the Democratic Forces!
Five states – Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh, Mizoram and Telangana – are going
to polls in November 2018 to elect their respective
state legislative Assemblies. While four states are
being ruled by the BJP and its allies, the state of
Telangana is being ruled by the regional party
Telangana Rashtra Samiti.
To cover up these anti-people policies and to
divert the peoples’ attention from the basic issues,
the ruling classes through their political
representatives used and are still using communal,
caste and regional sentiments, raking them up into
hatreds and dividing the people in order to destroy
their united strength.
Rajasthan witnessed large number of murders
of Muslims in the name of Gau rakshan. The
attacks on dalits and women have continuously
been conducted in these states by the BJP and its
mentor RSS. The TRS, even after four years of
bifurcation, is raking up regional chauvinism to
safely land again in the seat of power.
During their term in power in these states, they
failed to even address the most urgent and basic
problems faced by the people. The BJP promised
to double the income of farmers, but did little except
bringing out a concept paper by the NITI Ayog. At
the same time when farmers demonstrated
demanding remunerative prices for their produce,
they were subjected to brutal repression in MP and
Rajasthan. They promised to create jobs for the
youth, but for the last four years the creation of jobs
is on the decline. These governments absolved
themselves of their responsibility of providing
education, health and medical services to all the
citizens, while promoting market forces to take
over these sectors. The result is that education and
health became unaffordable for the poor and a
burden for the middle classes.
Hand in glove with the BJP government at the
centre, these state level parties promoted the
measures such as GST which had put
unimaginable economic burden upon the people.
While the hard earned savings of people deposited
in the public sector banks and state budgets are
being looted by the big bourgeoisie they remained
as mute spectators and are now supporting
measures to place these losses on the backs of
people by newer forms of taxation.
The ruling parties in these five states have not
even questioned the measures taken by the BJP
at the centre encroaching upon their powers. When
