Corruption and factional feud in kerala, tribal unrest and muslim vote bank erosion in west bengal... With seats fast slipping out of its hands, the Left Front, which had flexed its muscle in the UPA for four years, is struggling to somehow keep its relevance alive, says Sharad Gupta
Can Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik be called a political weathercock? Yes indeed, if one goes by his past record. He was the first constituent of the United Front to part ways and tie up with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in December 1997. Considering that the avid writer and art connoisseur had spent less than six months in politics, it was an audacious decision. But this triggered an exodus from the UF that culminated in the 22-party National Democratic Front (NDA) government at the Centre three months later. Since then, Patnaik has stayed in command, without any hiccups, in the alliance.
That bonhomie broke last week when Patnaik, in all his suave politeness, stunned the BJP interlocutor Chandan Mitra by offering a mere five (out of a total of 21) Lok Sabha and 35 out of a total of 140 Assembly seats. Within the next 24 hours, the Left Front-propelled Third Front was dubbing a “secular” Naveen as a shining star. But would Patnaik’s shocker trigger another exodus? Left Front leaders are more than eager to believe it would.
Patnaik’s decision might have provided some solace to the Left leaders, who have for the past two weeks been worried about prospects of the party in their strongholds Kerala and West Bengal.
Despite a tradition of faction feud within the CPI(M), it scraped through in the Lok Sabha polls in the state in 2004 and came to power in the Assembly polls of 2006 due to Kerala’s other tradition: alternating parties in power. But with factional squabbling at its peak now, with Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan and state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan at each other’s jugulars, the CPI(M) politburo had to suspend both from the party’s highest policy making body for making public statements against each other.
The Marxists’ problems got compounded in January, when Vijayan was charge sheeted by the Central Bureau of Investigation in a Rs 375 crore scam. Achuthanandan wants his prosecution, while party general secretary Prakash Karat defends him, dubbing the graft case as “politically motivated”.
A section of frustrated party cadre has rebelled against Karat’s defence of Vijayan, and the impact on a fractious party is all too visible. Rebels launched a party called Marxist Party in Onchiyam. In Ambalapuzzha’s panchayat by-poll, rebel CPI(M) candidate V Dhyansuthan defeated the official nominee Anirudhan, a Vijayan acolyte. Interestingly, Dhyansuthan had lost to the PDP candidate when he had contested as official nominee of the party in 2007. The CPI(M) also lost Shornur municipal seat in Palakkad district, home to Karat, to rebels led by MR Murali, former municipal vice chairman who, along with eight other councillors had been expelled from the party. The rebels fought under the banner of Janakeeya Vikasana Samiti and trounced CPI(M)’s official nominees. And a furious high command expelled its MP Abdullakutty for praising Narendra Modi’s style of governance (see box).
