KPCC president K. Sudhakaran said the recently concluded 23rd party congress of the CPI(M) in Kannur had wilfully advantaged the BJP by “delusionally” proposing a third front sans Congress.
In fact, by proposing a national alternative to the BJP, excluding the Congress, the CPI(M) had aided the Sangh Parivar agenda to decimate the Congress and erase the last vestige of political opposition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the national level.
The CPI(M) had turned a blind eye to the fact that the Congress, with its legacy of Nehruvian socialism, pluralism, secularism and liberalism, was the only credible political opposition to the BJP and its line of Hindu majoritarian fascism.
