Left divided and clueless over revival strategy

Kolkata: With CPI(M)-led Left Front decimated in the Lok Sabha elections in the erstwhile red citadel of West Bengal, the leadership seems to be divided whether there should be a change of guard or in

“There has to be coordination among Left parties on political philosophy, ideology and politics we pursue,” Forward Bloc General Secretary Debabrata Biswas said.  “But unfortunately we have lost that coordination.  There is a need to rethink and revamp our political line to make it more time effective.

If needed the issue of leadership change can also be looked into,” Biswas said.  He added that the Left needs to speak in the language that connects with the people rather than serious ideological deliberations.

RSP central secretariat member Manoj Bhattacharya noted that there is need to have a re-look at the policies of the Left.
“More than the leadership change, there is an urgent need to have a re-look at our policies. Because it is the policy that attracts,” Bhattacharya said.  Veteran CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta spoke about taking a relook at the political line of the Left parties.
