I don't agree with your views that he is a pragmatic politician, king-maker and a coalition man. He was nothing but a chamcha of Congress and in front of him, Congress pushed through anti-labour, anti-working class and anti-people policies. Affection for Sonia Gandhi and the congress killed his affection for the working class and the downtrodden. How can you call him a coalition man, when he was co-ordinating with just Congress and Sonia Gandhi. As regards he being a King-maker, a person who cannot set right his own unit in Punjab and could not ensure growth of his party outside the three traditionally strong states, this is nothing but a joke. If Rediff does not want to write anything against the person who just passed away, it's ok but don't glorify a person who does not deserve this appreciation. I reiterate the quality of CPM's politics, the gaining of ant-labour and anti-people sentiments in the country started gaining momentum after he became the General Secretary of the CPIM.

The people like who don't know about politics and the policies of the Congress and BJP can state like this. CPM never supports the anti labour policy, the people like u who live in their homes and talk about politics and never raise their voice against these policy states like this. Every time CPM raised thier protest against the anti labour policies but people like make that joke. Surjeet sacrified his life for the freedom of India and people like u only surf on internet and talk about the politics. if u want to know about real India, then come out from ur homes and see everywhere u can see what is the condition of poors & how they live thier lives. It is very easy to sit in office and comment on the future of the Country and you are one of them.

Hi man.. this is what I am talking about and you don't understand.. You have admitted about the condition of poors & how they live their lives.. as a General secretary of the CPI(M) what was his role ? Did he play that role right ? You say CPIM never supported the anti labour policy. I said CPIM never fought against the anti-labour policy. I have said post-Surjeet era, quality of CPM's functioning has come down .. that his last couple of years was spent as a chamcha of Congress, people like you may be requiring internet.. but not the common man.

I know what u want to say and that's why i write this. CPM supported UPA Govt for 4 yrs, in that yrs CPM never allowed UPA govt to change their labour policies. CPM always opposes the disinvestment in PSU, alwasy opposes the FDI in retail to save the small shop owners, CPM and because of CPM only govt couldn't bring Foriegn Investment in LIC and banking sectors. After CPM withdrawing support how Manmohan Sing played a game u all know.
For the Samajwadi's support they enrolled the name of Anil Ambani's Reliance Capital in PF money utilisation, they gave the name of Charansingh's father's name to the airport in a day and they agreed that Sibu Soren will be a cabinet minister.
And last about Harkishansing Surjeet he was in bed for last three years, he could n't participate in Party's work then how should he be the chamcha of Congress. He never took ministership for himself nor money to give support he only supported COngress on the issue of secularism. he donated his whole property for the party only CPM cadre can do this not persons like u. u all passed ur time for urself and ur family but he spent his time for the party. he was shot twice by british police in the freedom fight when he hoisted tri color in the Court and people like u will do anything to save ur skin.

I'm sorry that I have missed a comment on your point about Samajwadi's support and Reliance Capital. My heart bleeds when I think what will be the fate of the money of lakhs and lakhs of poor workers whose hard earned and save money will be kept at the mercy of people like Amar Singh. It is going to be a pathetic situation. You have rightly pointed out this and I am grateful. But have you noticed the newspaper column.. in the EPF Trustee meeting when this was about to be discussed, the CITU rep W.R. Varadarajan absented himself and flown to Chennai to attend some matters.
RE:RE:Surjeet
by Mahesh Rane on Aug 01, 2008 08:21 PM Permalink
Yes, he was absent but now all decision has taken in majority if Varadrajan was there he would be the only person who try to oppose and one thing when CPM was supporting to the govt. they could not implement these policies after withdrawing the support they proceed further that's mean Left parites put pressure on the govt.
One thing about that 3 million people who are working in unorganised sectors. Only CPM & CITU raised their questions and demanded the Law for their social security no other party has raised this question and one thing about them these 3 million people are divided in many communities and caste they will never come together for their rights. when they will try to come together then the imperialist, capatilist and fasist forces will again divide them in the name of religions and castes. that is the unfortune of our country that people never come together for their rights. When these all people come together then there will be chance of their prosporous rather they have to survive like today they are surviving.
you stated that in LS PM took the name of Surjeet and Basu, that was his trick to show down to Com Karat and tried to make a villon in the sight of ordinary people who are unaware of politics. CPM has its own policy and it will proceed its way on that policy.
Jyoti Basu stated that W.Bengal needs capitalism that means there is need of industrial growth becasue people can't survive only on agriculture and he knows if they want the W.Bengal as

Surjeet was in bed for last three years.. he has been in coma for last so many years ever since he became fond of Sonia Gandhi and Congress. Have you not noticed what Manmohan Singh said in the Lok Sabha that this Secular Government formation was possible with the blessings of Surjeet and Jyoti Basu. I repeat quality of CPM's politics started falling down with Surjeet becoming General Secretary. You understand clearly one thing.. not supporting the anti-people policy is one thing and fighting tooth and nail against such policy is another. Prior to Surjeet CPIM was following the later strategy. With Surjeet, the former strategy was followed. Again I repeat his time was spent 50% in chamchagiriying Congress and 50% for giving television interviews. And he did enjoy this at the cost of growth of the party. CPIM identity as an individualistic party lost the day this man started hobnobbing with Congress and this will go into history. Neither me nor you, Rane, can deny or challenge this.

I am in India only and I also have enough feelings for the POOR.Dont try to monopolise it! 30000 against 3 Million was a figure of speech. The effect of the Communist Party's actions are to protect "organised" trade unions to blackmail the Government thro' threats of Strikes and Hartals which affect the Crores of "Unorganised" Poor Indians. your own Jyoti Basu has publicly stated that "W.bengal needs Capitalism"!

Mr.Rane, when you say Labour Policy, you mean supporting the "Rights" of 30000 Organised workers against 3 Million people of this country? You idlers have been chiefly instrumental in putting the country back by 50 Years!

30,000 organised workers??? Have you ever been to India, Mr. 'Kraft'? Kahan ho? Hawa mahal mein? Climb down from your ivory tower and have a close look at the real India and then comment, my dear friend.
