Question: Does CPIM have inner party democracy?  क्या सीपीऐ ऎम् में आंतरिक लोकतंत्र है ? సీపీఎమ్ లో ఆంతరంగిక ప్రజాస్వామ్యం ఉన్నదా ?


Reply, जवाब, జవాబు :   IN POST No. 022 here, I have given a link to the interview given by Mr. Sitaram Yechury to theHindu.com.  The last question in the interview, and the answer given by Mr. Sitaram Yechury, are quoted below:-

Are we speaking to the next general secretary of the CPI(M)?


None of us now, I believe, are competent also to say anything on it because our party has a very vibrant inner party democracy. The Party Congress — our highest decision-making body — elects the new Central Committee. That new Central Committee elects the new general secretary and the Polit Bureau. I am in the old Central Committee. I am completely out of my jurisdiction to say anything.

This view of Mr. Yechury is like a person appreciating his own perceived beauty.  Truth may be a thousand kilometers far away.   When a person's name is proposed for a particular post, by the powers-that-be, in Indian political parties, nobody will dare to oppose them.  If anybody dares, they will be necked out.  Speeches by powers-that-be are not opposed.  Nobody wants to expose themselves by their outspokenness.  Hence, most internal elections in Indian political parties end up to be unanimous affairs.  Proposers' names and seconders' names are predecided by the High Command, dynastic or otherwise. 



If Mr. Sitaram Yechury really wants his party to install a more effective and efficient inner democracy, he should strive for introduction of the system of secret ballot not only for elections, but also for all key decisions.  Then truth will come out.  The electorate and the Constituency should consist the largest possible number.  To ensure this, postal or e-ballots through internet or mobiles, may have to be introduced.  Everybody cannot personally attend the Party Congress.

022 Writing to President of India may be as good as breaking one's own head against the Red Fort Wall

.
022 राष्ट्रपतीजी को खत लिखना और दिल्ली लाल किले के दिवार को शिर टकराना दोनों में समान सफलता होता है।
022 రాష్ట్రపతీజీ కి లేఖ వ్రాసినా, ఢిల్లీ లో ఎఱ్ఱ కోట గోడకు నెత్తి బాదుకున్న సఫలత సమానంగానే ఉంటుంది.

Shri Sitaram Yechury is Rajya Sabha Member, representing CPIM.  He is also that Party's Polit Bureau member.  President of India, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee is from Bengal.  CPIM has great experience of nearly four decades in Bengal.  As a top leader of CPIM, Mr. Sitaram Yechury may already know our Rashtrapatiji.

Mr. Yechury is said to have written to President of India requesting him, not to sign ordinances bypassing Parliamentary Procedures.  The context and reference is to the Land Acquisition Ordinance which is being sent to the President for a second tenure, as ruling NDA could not get the Bill cleared in Rajya Sabha.


ybrao-a-donkey's view वैबी राव गधे के राय.  వైబీరావ్ గాడిద అభిప్రాయం.

There will be no difference between writing a letter to the President of India, and breaking one's own head, striking it against the wall of the red fort in Delhi.  राष्ट्रपतीजी को खत लिखना और दिल्ली लाल किले के दिवार को शिर टकराना दोनों एक ही फल देते हैं।  రాష్ట్రపతీజీ కి లేఖ వ్రాసినా, ఢిల్లీ లో ఎఱ్ఱ కోట గోడకు నెత్తి బాదుకున్నా ఒకే ఫలం.

Then what should be done? तब क्या करना ? అప్పుడేం చేయాలి  ?

Mr. Sitaram Yechury has given one interview to the Hindu Daily, on the context of the 21st Congress of his Party .  Below is the link.

About 25 persons commented, in response to the interview.   Most of them support BJP and oppose CPIM.  Some of these comments contain valid questions.  Here is a link to the interview & its comments.  Those of my readers who wish to study them can study them.

I wish Mr. Yechury to study those comments and reply them at the Hindu, which is a top news paper in India.  He can also place his replies at his party's website cpim.org.

I shall try to cover some of the questions and answers given by Mr. Yechury in my forthcoming blog posts.

018 Where is Communism in China?

Mr. Sitaram Yechury, a Polit Bureau Member of C.P.I.(M) visited China recently.

What for? Definitely -not spiritual guidance. What is there to learn from China?

Here is an ANI news report which indicates that Zhang Shangwu , its retired gymnast champion was begging by performing his skills. The City's patrolling police were said to have driven him out of the commercial street area, on the ground of 'unauthorised begging'.

ybrao-a-donkey's views not intended to be imposed on others:

These things happen in India. But, Police do not drive out the begging sports persons. The Public also do not bother. Reason: The sport-persons of pampered sports like Cricket, Tennis, Foot Ball etc. can make hay while the sun shines. Shooters Rathod, Vijayakumar, Gagan Narang et al have their secure jobs in the Defence Services and they need not beg. Then who should beg? Sports Persons of Cinderella sports may have to beg.

Question Can Communist countries and Governments cannot behave like the Governments in Capitalist Countries?

Ans: Why? A horse cannot behave like a donkey. The Communist Governments have a duty to meet all the genuine basic needs of all their citizens, with NO EXCEPTIONs. It is also the duty of the Government of China, to provide suitable work to the sports person, if it is not possible to use a person's sports skills directly in occupations such as sports-coaching.

In pure laissez-faire, the Government can allow its citizens to beg.

We have a proverb in my mother tongue Telugu: 'amma peTTA peTTadu , aDukku tinA nivvadu'. The approximate translation of this proverb works out like: 'This mother does not feed (give food). Nor does she allow me to beg.' The new Guru of China is America and not Marx. We know that, in United States, poor and homeless sleep under Bridges and Fly-Overs. They can probably sleep before closed shutters of shops on holidays even in commercial streets. China should, therefore, allow its sports persons to literally beg.
