policy in 1935. The 180? turn in the policy of the Comintern caused considerable confusion among those workers who had been drawn in by the rhetoric during the Third Period.
West Bengal is the RED LIGHT AREA OF FREEsenSEX ECONOMY and POLITICS! I am sorry to say!
“The major advanced economies, the United States, the Euro Area and Japan, are all suffering severe recessions. The emerging and developing economies are slowing abruptly and many of these are also likely to see falls in activity in 2009,” the official said.
The Statesman reports:
Incidentally, this is in tune with the amendment on land acquisition moved by the Centre. Left MPs had opposed the clause of 30 per cent acquisition leaving 70 per cent to be purchased.
Responding to criticism that agricultural land was being taken away from farmers for industrialisation, Mr Dasgupta claimed 11.26 lakh acres had been distributed among poor farmers including scheduled castes and tribes.
The minister's attempts to please the state government employees who form a large chunk of the votebank, through pay revision, have
cost the exchequer an additional burden of Rs 10,000 crore in the budget which showed a deficit of Rs 7 crore. Mr Dasgupta ruled out fresh taxes (“I have not considered it”) but set a target of 20 per cent for the annual growth rate of state taxes through special tax efforts and computerisation. However, the budget speech made it clear that the minister was pinning his hopes on arrear dues on coal royalty rate. Fifty per cent of the additional burden for pay revision would be met by the Centre.
The minister said there would be investment worth Rs 93,180 crore for the proposed PCPIR at Nayachar with a potential for creating jobs for 1.12 million people. He, however, blamed the Opposition for the loss of employment potential and investment due to the Singur fiasco.
http://www.thestatesman.net/page.news.php?clid=1&theme=&usrsess=1&id=247667
The West Bengal assembly was plunged into chaos Friday as the opposition shouted slogans and walked out alleging the government had presented a full-fledged budget instead of a vote-on-account, which was in violation of the election code.
Providing sops to a cross section of people, West Bengal Finance Minister Asim Dasgupta Friday presented a Rs.70-million deficit budget in the state assembly for 2009-10.Referring to the “severe worldwide recession”, Dasgupta later told reporters that the “budget is aimed at helping the common people to increase their purchasing power in this difficult time”.
However, the budget proposals did not include any tax rebate.
In a bid to provide some relief to the “poorer people” during the global economic meltdown, the budget proposed to distribute rice at Rs.2 per kg for Below Poverty Line card holders through ration shops.
“This scheme would continue year after year…and the state government has allocated Rs.422 crore (Rs.4.22 billion) as subsidy for the entire year for this programme,” Dasgupta said in his speech.
While listing the industrial achievements of the state last year, Dasgupta refered to the Tata Nano project not materialising in Singur “due to opposition from a section of the people”.
“It is necessary to mention that the realised investment and employment generation would have increased further, if the small car manufacturing unit at Singur could have completed the remaining part of investment and could be linked with the production of downstream units.”
The state government has decided to create a land bank to facilitate setting up of large-scale units in the state by purchasing relatively infertile land from the farmers at a fair price and thereafter by acquiring land in some remaining cases after consulting the farmers.
“For this purpose, a decision to create a corpus fund of Rs.500 crore (Rs.5 billion) has been included in the strategy to combat recession,” Dasgupta said.
The state government has decided that it is necessary to create an internal market for information technology (IT) and information technology enabled service (ITeS) units and not make the development of this sector so much dependent on exports. It has allocated Rs.250 million for IT and ITeS and its expansion up to the village level.
“As part of the strategy to combat recession, the state government has decided to launch a new scheme of construction and development of housing for the poor and low-income groups with an outlay of Rs.1,000 crore (Rs.10 billion),” he said in the speech.
The state government has planned to appoint 50,000 additional teachers at primary school level. At present, there are 145,000 existing teachers at primary level.
Speaking outside the House, opposition parties Trinamool Congress and Congress threatened to complain to the Election Commission on the Left Front government paying no heed to the model conduct code in force for the election.
Midway into Finance Minister Asim Dasgupta’s budget speech, which contained a series of sops, members of the opposition Congress and Trinamool Congress raised slogans describing the budget as unconstitutional.
Towards the end of the speech, Trinamool and Congress lawmakers walked out of the House.
Speaking to reporters, leader of the opposition Partha Chattopadhyay alleged that the finance minister’s speech violated the model code of conduct.
“The government was supposed to place a vote-on-account for four months. But instead, it addressed issues for the whole year. This is extremely unconstitutional. They have tried to give sops keeping the impending election in mind,” Chattopadhyay said.
“It was nothing but the Left Front government’s election manifesto. The government has violated the model code of conduct and election guidelines,” he said.
“We will move the Election Commission on this issue,” he said.
Congress legislative party leader Manas Bhuniya said the finance minister has exceeded his mandate.
“The language, nomenclature and financial exercise should have been limited to the vote-on-account. But he exceeded his brief. We will take it up with the Election Commission,” Bhuniya said.
Denying the charges, Dasgupta said projects announced in the budget were nothing new.
“We had announced them on Feb 23 to help the common people and beat the recession”.

because such rigid sectarianism precluded any amount of unity on the left. Hitler's rise to power, consequently, was also a reason for the abandonment of the policy in favour of the Popular Front strategy because Germany became the biggest security threat to the Soviet Union.

during the Third Period. Some revisionist authors like Robin D. G. Kelley and John Manley have penned local histories that portray Communist Party members as effective activists, heroic in many cases because their revolutionary zeal helped them confront extremely adverse circumstances. Despite the shadow of Stalinism, in this perspective, the important positive contributions Communist organizers made in working class history should not be discounted.
Critics of this new revisionism argue that these histories gloss over or ignore both the horrors of Stalinism and also the devastating consequences of the Third Period inasmuch as it facilitated the rise of Hitler and alienated the working class writ large from the left because of its sectarianism and adventurism.

had opposed the continued marketization of agriculture through the NEP policy, and, since 1924, had repeatedly called for investment in industry, some collectivization in agriculture and democratization of the Party. Threatened by the growing power and revolt from the countryside led by the Kulaks and the strengthening bourgeoisie, the Fifteenth Congress of the CPSU passed resolutions that supported for some of the planks of the Opposition?s platform, and on paper, the Congress? views appeared very left, politically. However, the Left Opposition was expelled.

now adopted were given the slogan "socialist accumulation". The Communist party had publicly proposed collectivization to be voluntary; however, lower level officials occasionally disregarded official policy, and motivated the peasants into joining the communes by use of threats and false promises. In what Issac Deutscher calls "the great change", the new policies of industrialization and collectivization now adopted were carried out in a ruthless and brutal way, via the use of the security and military forces, without the direct involvement of the working class and peasantry itself and without seeming regard for the social consequences. According to figures given by Deutscher, the peasants opposed forced collectivisation by slaughtering 18 million horses, 30 million cattle, about 45 per cent of the total, and 100 million sheep and goats, about two thirds of the total. Kulaks who engaged in these behaviours were dealt with harshly; in December 1929, Stalin issued a call to "liquidate the kulaks as a class" - emphasis on as a class is needed, because it was not a call to eliminate the individuals themselves. Policies included their deportation to remote lands in SiberiaSiberia

and to labour camps. There is debate amongst historians as to whether the actions of the Kulaks and their supporters helped lead to famine, or whether the policy of collectivization itself was responsible. (See Collectivisation in the USSRCollectivisation in the USSR

Bengal raise rests on M-factor
OUR BUREAU
Calcutta, March 20: The Marxist-midwifed front or Manmohan Singh or the market.
On these three — not necessarily in that order — rests the Bengal government’s intention to pay higher salaries to its employees.
The state government will have to make provisions for paying Rs 10,000 crore in 2009-10 for implementing the fifth pay panel’s recommendations, finance minister Asim Dasgupta said today while presenting the vote-on-account.
The best-case scenario for finding the money will be a fast clearance of coal royalty dues by the new government at the Centre which owes the state Rs 9,494 crore. If a friendly government — say a third front dispensation — comes to power after the elections, Dasgupta’s task will be made easy.
The next-best option is Manmohan Singh returning to power, which can raise some hopes in his good friend Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee of a quick payment — never mind what Prakash Karat thinks.
But conscientious finance ministers such as Dasgupta are not susceptible to the charms of the imponderables of politics. So he has not factored in any such tantalising possibilities as coal dues or a dole from Delhi to meet half of the additional wage bills as demanded by some states.
“I do not have any written commitment. So I have not factored them in. If those are cleared, I don’t have to make additional borrowings,” Dasgupta said.
Which leaves him with the other M: market borrowings. “There has to be a way out and so we are thinking whether to go for additional borrowings. However, we haven’t yet decided on the borrowing amount,’’ the minister said after tabling a Rs 7-crore-deficit vote-on-account.
Borrowings will add to the burden of the government which is said to be already paying Rs 13,000 crore a year as interest on past loans.
Bengal has to pay Rs 11,500 crore more for wages, pension and arrears. Of the total amount, Rs 10,000 crore has to be paid in the new financial year beginning next month. The state also has to fund the Rs 5,106-crore stimulus package announced last month.
The sops, which include rice for Rs 2 a kg for the poor and recruitment of 50,000 teachers, were announced before the model code of conduct kicked in but they have been reproduced in the budget.
Dasgupta is also hoping that tax collection would go up by 20 per cent from 17 per cent. The interim budget did not have new tax proposals because of the model code.
The Opposition said the vote-on-account was a Left poll manifesto and it would move the Election Commission, but Dasgupta denied the charge.

Economic review gives the lie to state’s job claims
KOLKATA, March 20 : Now it's official. The performance of the Left Front government in providing guaranteed jobs for 100 days a year for the rural people during 2007-08 is abysmally poor ~ 25 days on an average against a national average of 44 days.
This was revealed in the economic review for 2008-09 presented today along with the state vote-on-account Budget. The coverage of the rural women under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act is even worse. The review stated: “Participation of women in NREGA work has been low in most of the distrcits. Person-days generated by women were 17.15 per cent of total person-days generated during 2007-08.” The participation of women is, however, much higher in areas with high concentration of tribal population. Incidentally, the state could provide only 14 days work on an average during 2006-07. The performance of Malda and Murshidabad districts was “very poor”. The LF-government's image as pro-poor took a heavy beating when it was revealed that its performance in providing 100 days guaranteed work under NREGA was among the worst in the country. The revelation came when rural Bengal was seething with anger for the state government's attempts to forcibly acquire farm land for industrialisation and corruption among the rank and file of the ruling combine.
Ironically, 74.70 per cent of the available fund was used to create jobs for 25 days on an average during 2007-08. The state received Rs 1,014.06 crore and spent Rs 968.81 crore. The review stated :"The major problem of implementation of NREGA is inordinate delay in receiving funds to meet the demand. In areas with low demand for work, fund had to be retained for taking up new project, whereas other areas with high demand suffered due to inadequate fund.” n SNS

FRONTS AND FRIENDSHIPS
- The Indian political party is just a vehicle on its way to Delhi
Sunanda K. Datta-Ray
Despite Disraeli’s belief that parliamentary government is impossible without parties, the current campaign suggests that the principal — often only — purpose of a party is to further the ambitions of an individual. Parties presuppose ideas if not ideology. A great deal of time, effort, expense and anguish might be avoided if this pretence were dropped.
It has in practice. There’s anxious heartburning when Sitaram Yechury calls on Sharad Yadav or any other party leader not because he might convert them to revolution but because he keeps the headcount in the quinquennial Gentlemen vs Politicians race for the prime ministership. As for the other half, Mayavati and Jayalalithaa probably regard themselves as the only men in clusters of old women. But does that make them Gentlemen? When Barbara Castle lamented in the Commons that the English bulldog (Churchill) had become America’s lapdog, a Tory MP yelled, “You are not, of course, a dog!” He didn’t need to spell out the alternative for sedate members even on his own side to express shock.
The immediate gain from a partyless democracy would be respite from a bewildering jungle of initials and acronyms. UPA and NDA are familiar codes for L.K. Advani and Sonia Gandhi. But we must also contend with UDF and LDF; BSP and BJD; PDP and TDP; LJP, NCP and IUML. Tamil ingenuity accounts for a formidable clutch — DMK, DMDK, AIADMK and PMK. To the many other letters of the alphabet lurking in the woodwork can be added the NCNBSF or “Non-Congress non-BJP Secular Front” which boasts more chiefs than Indians, each plotting for a chance not to repeat the “historic blunder” that Jyoti Basu finds so hard to forget or forgive.
The Politicians can be identified from the flamboyant largesse that has all but replaced political programmes, constituency interests and national issues. Houses for journalists in Punjab, wristwatches in Madhya Pradesh, land, water, electricity and an abundance of colour TV sets (flat screen presumably) for voters in Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and elsewhere. Advani’s more imaginative Rs 10,000 laptops may be earmarked for students and his smart mobiles for families languishing below the poverty line, but the rule hasn’t yet been invented that doesn’t also indicate a way round it. Everyone is a student, of life if nothing else, while a profusion of BPL cards issued by the government makes Andhra Pradesh appear truly poverty-stricken. The Marxists are the cleverest: the parliamentarian who reportedly passed off an empty envelope with great public fanfare as a cheque for Rs 25,000 for a bereaved mother deserves the finance portfolio if Karat becomes king instead of kingmaker.
This is not the criminalization of politics, as N.N. Vohra might say. It’s the politicization of crime, with the Supreme Court staying convictions to accommodate stellar ambition. This other overlapping is confirmed by Amar Singh’s role in the appropriately named film, Chargesheet. Ronald Reagan’s “How can a president not be an actor?” when asked if it was seemly for an actor to be president could be applied to India’s entire political dramatis personae. Finally, the Gandhi-Nehrus confirm that blood is thicker than water. If Chiranjeevi can produce an actor brother, Naidu dazzles voters with three thespians — two brothers-in-law and a nephew. Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s nephew is contesting. Thanks to her future daughter-in-law, the Samajwadi Party’s Ranjana Bajpai has added another Brahmin face to the BSP’s ranks.
The future belongs to the Bal Thackerays who understand that Indians don’t cast their vote but vote their caste, not to Yechury with his textbook denunciation of corruption, criminalization, communalism and casteism. Without the four Cs, India would not be Indian. Also, families mean feuds. The Dutts can now preen like the royal Scindias since they, too, are divided by politics. Rabri Devi’s brothers are on the rampage in what Biharis call the “sasural party”. Varun Gandhi’s kin must be delighted that he is Thackeray’s hero.
Caste, community and Thackeray shore up Pawar’s hopes. Worsted in 1991 by P.V. Narasimha Rao (who might never have existed so far as Congress publicity is concerned), he grumbles that since Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Karnataka have had a go at the top job (he doesn’t mention Punjab or Uttar Pradesh’s long monopoly), it’s high time for a Maratha manoos. The Shiv Sena supports him, presumably because its Hindu enthusiasm stops short of peripatetic Sindhis. Paswan agrees with Mayavati that the next prime minister should be Dalit but his caste loyalty stops short of females. Maybe the job should rotate like Malaysia’s kingship among all the states and castes. That would mean smaller elections with fewer than the present 21 lakh security personnel and no need to deprive people of the tamasha Lalit Modi is peddling.
Ironically, the party system also highlights the central role that even a fragmented Congress occupies. As Pranab Mukherjee (“the permanent PM”, he laughs, borrowing Piloo Modi’s joke) concluded after a spell in the wilderness, there is no future in India’s secular democratic politics save in the Congress. S. Bangarappa, the former Karnataka chief minister, knows that all too well, having trudged to the Congress door no less than five times. Naveen Patnaik may be coming round to the same view. If the Congress hadn’t existed, it would have had to be invented to provide the rest with a foil.
All the prime ministers-in-waiting are obliged to strike a position vis-à-vis the Congress. Refused an alliance, Mulayam Singh seeks consolation in a “strategic understanding”. Lalu Prasad denies that stabbing the “nation’s bahu” (his term in happier days) in the back will derail the UPA. Jayalalithaa accuses K. Karunanidhi of lashing out against Indira and Rajiv Gandhi; Karunanidhi says Jayalalithaa thwarted Sonia Gandhi’s prime ministerial hopes in 2004. It’s not where the NCNBSF chiefs stand today that matters. It’s where they will stand tomorrow when, according to Karat, the front will become an alliance. Even Mamata Banerjee sets her cap at the Writers’ Buildings in collusion with the Congress, which obliged her by banishing the mercurial Subrata Mukherjee to the wilds of Bankura. Nitish Kumar can afford to ignore the Congress since the unfolding saga of Barack Obama’s questionable Indian friends suggests Bihar might be expanding to America.
But Pranab Babu is wrong in crediting Patnaik’s former partner with only the “agenda of communalism, sectarianism and obscurantism”. They also have a one-point agenda and the point is the same. That’s why Narendra Modi feels young Varun has upstaged him. Arun Jaitley’s “loyal but principled opposition” forces him to endure with stony-faced misgiving the progress of a schoolfriend with the knack of getting places. Advani, beaming from “India’s largest political website” with 800 pages, 400 pictures and 250 videos, detects a worrying parallel in Richard Nixon’s experience and intelligence losing out to Jack Kennedy’s handsome profile.
The pattern bristles with intrigue-ridden sub-plots. Delimitation has compounded the complexity of canvassing. Voters in Hooghly and Farukhabad cannot be alone in refusing to vote unless electoral promises (like building new roads) are kept. The nitty-gritty of governance matters more than manifestos. As Indira Gandhi realized, parties are a drag on leaders. Fear of the Supreme Court prevented her from going it alone but she took her cue from Arthur Balfour, the British prime minister who said he would sooner consult his valet on politics than the party conference. Far from reflecting a broad consensus of like-minded people committed to a particular programme for the national weal, the party is a vehicle on the road to Delhi . Like Vajpayee, the only leader publicly to admit that no one can go through the electoral mill and still pretend to be Mr Clean, Manmohan Singh and Jaswant Singh are also Gentlemen fallen among Politicians. Vajpayee, alas, has withdrawn from the ring. Jaswant Singh never deigned to enter it. That doesn’t leave voters much choice.
