Aligning with Abbas Siddiqui’s ISF was wrong: CPI (M) Central Committee
The Hindu
‘Despite mobilising big struggles successfully, there has been a decline in the party’s mass base since 2008’
In a post poll analysis of its defeat in the West Bengal polls, the Communist Party of India-Marxist’s (CPI-M) Central Committee (CC) conceded that it had been a mistake to align with Abbas Siddiqui’s newly formed Indian Secular Front (ISF). Despite “the secular nature of programme and candidates fielded, emphasising on candidates from marginalised sections could not completely erase the image of it being a Muslim minority outfit”, the party noted. This is for the first time in independent India that no Communist was elected to the Bengal State Assembly.
