Indian Communist parties to merge with Congress?

In India today, the communist parties perhaps are the most confused ones because of their wrong policies and political practices.

It is only a speculative exercise to argue for the merger of communist parties with Congress to save the oldest Indian political  party from eventual extinction, the begins have already been made  by the BJP’s  emergence of the only national party today to stay in power both at the centre and states.

In fact, it appears many communist leaders want to save the Congress party than their own parties in India.

Congress party leaders comprehending the dichotomy in the left circles have, on their own, expressed their cumulative desire to make Congress-communist front against the BJP communal allies to stay strong contenders for power in future.  And, Congress party is more than sure about the possibility of a joint front to face the BJP threat to secular foundations of the nation.  In fact some Congress sources have already asked the support of the Left parties.

However, many Communist leaders, cutting across the division of left movement in India, seem to be thinking even  in terms of merging their communist parties with “progressive” Congress to make a formidable  alliance to face polls in future.

In view of the fact that over years of colossal experience as ruling coalition of three states, viz, Kerala, West Bengal and Tripura and serving the rich and corporates, the communist parties have also conveniently dropped their goal of serving the cause of common people and switched over to protect the rich and corporate in exchange for “funds” from them.  The Indian communist mindset has got reformed in a such extend that in West Bengal, the they took away the  agricultural lands from the peasants and  gave them to the corporate bosses, obviously for extra generous funds.

But the people of Bengal did not  excuse the communists for their crimes against the common people and used the first available opportunity to sack the government w and favored a Mamata Banerjee as the new CM, who even claimed to be the real communist for her  genuine concern for common people.

Communist leaders, like Congress party, have taken the support of common people for granted and thought no matter what leftists do or don’t do, the people would vote for the left parties because they are real committed and obeying communists. For the communist  parties the common people are now a problem and  the party leaders try to lean towards the rich. 

No, people no more trust the communists for their declarations and mere protest gimmicks.

Today, the communist parties prefer close nexus with Congress party and making the Congress party return o power sooner than later seem be their ideological motto, while people are mere votes for them.   In fact when in power the Congress party had pursued pro-Israel policy and, in continuing with earlier ruling BJP's tilt in favor of the Zionist fascist regime,  promoted military ties. 

Now BJP has further invigorated the military terror  pacts with the enemies of Palestinian people and concluded new agreements for terror systems only to terrorize and eventually silence the remaining Kashmiri Muslims.

Both Congress and communist parties think a joint front by them would be relevant and is the only way forward to save the nation from further suffronization of India.  Earlier in 70s many communists quit their parties to join the Congress party to make the party genuinely secular but that has not happened. Many Congress leaders across the nation are Hindutva minded and RSS members and sympathizers and they fool the Muslim members of the party, making them to be pro-Hindu people. For many Congress Muslims, this corrupt and essentially anti-Muslim party is more important than Babri Mosque.  That is the Muslim mindset created very carefully by the Congress regime over decades of its misrule. So much so, Muslims do not mind the hell  by working for Congress and other anti-Muslim parties against the Islamic interests. 

For a joint Congress-communist front to happen, first the Congress party should severe its secret nexus with BJP and RSS. Congress cannot promote Hindutva agenda of RSS when the communists expected to promote the Congress misrule again in the country.

BJP is effective weapons the Congress party has used  to terrorize and ensure  their support; hardly any Muslim who has not fallen victim to BJP-Congress gimmicks. 

Obviously the Muslims in the country have abandoned the pro-Hindutva Congress party but have not found credible alternative to post their valuable votes for.
