Naxalism could not form a base in West Bengal for 30 years since its inception due to the political battle waged by the organised Left, CPM leader Sitaram Yechury has said.

"Please remember that Naxalbari is a village in West Bengal from where this ultra-Left (Naxal) deviation took place. And for 30 years they could not come back to West

Bengal only because of the fight we had put up," he said in an interview. He charged the Trinamool Congress with bringing them back, saying "they were imported into West Bengal by our political opponents ... in order to be used against us." Yechury said the Trinamool Congress, which was "sitting in the Central government", wanted to fight the Left "using the Maoists and gave them shelter, gave them patronage. They were brought in from across the border (of the state)".

Defending the release of some tribal women in exchange for a police officer who was held captive by the Maoists, he said they were "hapless tribal women and not hardened Maoists".

The senior Marxist leader said the CPM's fight against the ultra-Left dated back to the late 1960s and early 1970s when over a thousand of its cadres were killed.

"We are the ones who have lost the maximum number of people in the fight against the Maoists," he said. To questions as to why the state government was failing to control the Maoists, Yechury said their activities were primarily concentrated in three districts of West Bengal bordering Jharkhand or Orissa.

'Organised Left prevented naxals from forming base in WB' (2)By: KVSKumar | 09-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Despite this deprived people and downtrodden in the country get flocked to armed Maoism and Naxalism and that too when democratic communist movement is alive and kicking? Why so Mr.Yachury (Also ask your PB and CC Members). Maoists and Naxalists are demanding land for the tiller. Why is it that communist movement in the country are not so vociferous about this issue? Why don't your party is not seen organizing farmers who are alive and the families of those committed suicide to demand radical land reform? Do you think the issue a lost case? The issue would have or even would give more mass support to communist movement in the country than what ram-mandir issue gave to BJP. Why CPM or CPI are not interested in it Mr.Yachury? Because...flawed Hindutwa of BJP and insincerity of Communists have caused opposition space to be virtually vacant or absent. The voice of the haveless are not heard in Parliament and Assemblies. Hence Maoism and Naxalism are growing. Do your duty to stem it!

'Organised Left prevented naxals from forming base in WB' (1)By: KVSKumar | 09-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward The heading should have been a little bit different i.e. "ORGANISED LEFT(?) CONTRIBUTED TO NAXALISM AND MAOISM IN THE COUNTRY". Mr. Yachury, please accept the failure of communist leadership to spread and grow on its own in the country. Inequity and social injustices of capitalist system have been the mother of communist movement all over the world. In India both inequity and social injustices are applenty. Why did it happen that communist movement in the country continues to be confined to just three states in the country, viz. Tripura, WB and Kerala, even after 6 decades after independence?. The reason is simple, that the communist leadership in the country have been infiltrated by capitalist and greedy elements who want to just do lip service to the cause of communism. You cannot be unaware of the fact that Indians by nature of their DNA dislike even abhors hurting others (forget killing).

LEFT VS MAOISTS.By: R..Ghosh | 09-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward D/Sir,The Communists of West Bengal were themselves educated& poor,most of them.They organized the intelligent Nuxalites,developed paid CADRES,unleashed a reign of terror, managed to win elections by fooling people.Through unprincipled Unionism they closed factories,broke the backbone of established Industrial Houses by destroying Work culture of the people.Made them helpless without employment. They became slave to the PARTY.NOW,most of the leaders have become RICH.So the HAVENOTS of communists have gone to their BASICS and trying their old 'POWER through BARREL OF GUN' principle instead of PSEUDO Democratic process adopted by communists through violence. MR.YECHURY had been to Nepal not long back to advice the MAOISTS there during their AGITATION His services may be useful to appease the Maoists of W.B. Why they are blaming other Parties?What Communists did to CONGRESS in the Sixties and seventies Maoists are doing the same thing,paying them in their own COINS! PARKALAM.

The poor of the creamy-parties are in mirage!By: George P. Joseph | 09-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward This is a life for everybody to live for a finger-limit of years. Everybody knows what is feudalistic atrocities. After all the poor hicks and peasants would not be allowed to live in India comparing to the creamy parties activities in Indian Politics. Creamy want servility. Gone are the days Creamy intellectuals. That is the 30 years in WB, elsewhere in India. When you undergo such a situation in life you may think of Yetuchuri or somebody like. Since you have sufficient daily need and the have-nots are being infatuated and intimidated to vote for the Creamy by holding Ancient Doctrines to distorting the ancient values into modernity. The poor of the creamy parties are in mirage. Gone are the Days!

Oh Yeah! Then I'm the true King of ScotlandBy: Venkat | 09-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward How can one really believe Sitaram Yechury? The Marxists were, are and will be Chinese agents working against the development of India. If I had my way I'll ban the Communist Party. Make no mistake- The CPI-M pose a clear and present danger to the Republic of India and need to be eliminated before the cancer spreads and probably consumes the country in mayhem and chaos.
