Secular fails

Secular fails

Karnataka is turn to Bharathiya Janatha Party (BJP). Some people said it is not a good move in South India. The South Indian states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh are not accept BJP politics since the Karnataka election. But the situation is changed. They won 110 seats in the 224 seats Assembly in Karnataka state.

It is clear saffron victory in the state. They are worked at root level politics and organized Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as a cultural organization. The root level works are helped BJP in the election. But other parties Congress and Janatha Dal (Secular) are not to go to the villages. They concentrate Metro Karnataka. That is a big fault of them.

Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said that the results have shown that secular forces have failed to give a fight to BJP. He added now it is time for secular forces to think seriously about the emerging communal forces in the country.

It is comedy. The secular parties including Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) are not take a clear action against BJP. Congress is in power in center. NCP is partner. NCP have an important folio, agriculture. But they didn’t take any action against price hiking and so on problems. It is a main factor in the election. Pawar takes more important to cricket not agriculture. (I suggested to Pawar to resign from Minister post. It helps you to make more concentration in cricket.)

JD (S) is a party of cheaters. So, they have no way to take back to power in. The other political parties are do not have clean image in Karnataka. One of the important third wings, Communist Party of India (Marxist) has only below 7000 members in the state. So responsibility is for Congress. But they didn’t act. They are misleading Indian politics. It helps BJP.

All groups will join against BJP and anti secularist activities. It is a dream.

Why BCP (MLM) banned ?

I read an article about the Bhutan Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) some a days. I extremely surprised because it is a banned political party in Bhutan. I search for internet for more details about the political wing. I got some details, but it is not complete.
The political party was formed in United Nation’s refugee camps in Nepal. The party’s aim is to overthrow of the Bhutanese monarchy and form the House of Wangchuck. What an aim? The party has an armed wing. It is called Bhutan Tiger Force (BTF).

Their (top) 10 demands are here:

• Bhutan Government must declare sovereign democracy and guarantee people’s rights and freedoms
• Bhutan Government must repatriate all its citizens with dignity and honor
• Bhutan Government must guarantee with acceptance in principle of right to self-determination
• Following the principle of Land for the people distribute the lands to poor peasants and landless farmers
• Bhutan Government must fix the minimum wage of Nu. 150 per day. Also the emergency fund for forthcoming catastrophe, health insurance and shelter must be guaranteed
• Guarantee all fundamental rights of women and equal judgment
• Bhutan Government must guarantee cost free education and employment
• Guarantee democratic and employment oriented education
• Do away with all the draconian laws and acts reconstruct new democratic laws and constitution
• Guarantee the freedom of Speech, press, freedom to travel within the territory of country
