Resolution adopted by the CC of CPI (ML) June 2019
17 th Lok Sabha Elections reflected the conspiratorial
politics of Ruling classes, particularly those of BJP!
The results of general elections to 17 th
Parliament are in accordance with the assessment
of CC, CPI (ML). The election ‘war’ in all states
reflected the prevailing political and economic crisis.
The competition is between the bourgeois parties
that are competing to serve the interests of
imperialist and feudal exploitation and suppression.
The worldwide economic and political crisis of
capitalism and imperialism has further deepened.
The Indian political arena cannot stay aloof from this
crisis. In these elections also, the contradictions
among the big bourgeois, feudal and bureaucratic
capital has sharpened. Though one may not say
clearly which section of big bourgeoisie and big
business acted in whose favour, the competition
among them had reflected in the political arena.
In 2014, the Congress led UPA was defeated
and the BJP led NDA came to power in 16 th
Parliament. Its rule followed the footsteps of earlier
regimes. It threw the peoples’ lives into turmoil by
imposing demonetization, GST and other measures.
The unemployment has further increased. The
agrarian crisis has further deepened. The lives of
the rent farmers and agricultural labour have
deteriorated. It mouthed slogans like make in India,
Achhe Din etc.. But it continued to squander all the
resources to big bourgeoisie.
It is a well known that the ideology of BJP is
based on communalism. The BJP in power utilized
the pseudo secularist and empty democratic nature
of the Constitution to rouse religious intolerance and
communal hatreds. It propagated fundamentalism.
It tried to throw the democratic, secular and
progressive forces into a state of fear and stupor. It
instigated murders. It tried to unleash terror in areas
that resisted religious chauvinism. It tried to fish in
the uncertain political situation in Tamil Nadu. The
DMK and other partiers had defeated BJP’s game
as a result of the seeds of materialism sown by Periar
Ramasamy. It created unhealthy atmosphere in
Kerala by interfering in the local customs and
practices. It adopted tactics to destroy communism
and its ideology, dialectical materialism. To contain
the intellectuals of this creed, it conspiratorially
foisted false cases and arrested them branding them
as ‘urban naxalites’. The Naxalbari peasants rose
in uprising for land and freedom. But, for the last 40
years, the ruling classes had been distorting this
historical struggle by using the term Naxalite as
synonymous with individual killings. Some of the
ruling class parties, CPI and CPM had joined this
chorus, and the bad effects of this are now being
felt by them. As a result of this, the materialist world
outlook had disappeared from the minds of its cadre
and no vehicles remained to imbibe materialist world
outlook to their new cadres.
The BJP sought to utilize its position in power
for five years to spread its ideas of Hinduraj,
Akhandbaharat and communalism. But its attempts
were not fruitful where there is influence of genuine
secularism and materialism. In such places it
resorted to the methods of arson and violence. It
conspiratorially sought to sell its Hindu card and
rouse anti-Muslim ideas by calling Pakistan as
Organ of the Central Committee of CPI(ML)
