I was 12 years old when communist party of India Marxist (CPIM) capture power in West Bengal at the leadership of Mr Jyoti Basu in 1977. Like my father, I enjoyed that night when voting results came as my father was strongly against congress party due to torture on people during Emergency-The regime of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. The euphoria about communists lasted in me upto 1988 when I got admitted into graduation course. Though some of the atrocities conducted by communists stuck the news at that time like cruel burning of 11 Anandamargis (a religious group) on a street and genocide in Marichjhanpi(West Bengal).
In 1989, I came to know few things about CPIM party structure.
1) Hierarchy of CPIM party:
POLITBURO-CENTRAL COMMITTEE-W.B State committee-District committee-Local committee-Branch committee- Mahalla and People committee( apolitical)
Upto branch committee all members are political and mahalla and people?s committee are so called apolitical.
2) Share of resources
The resource is generated by branch committee and local committee by different means which I will describe later on. Each committee keep with itself 50% of generated resource and the rest 50% is passed to the next higher committee.
Meanace of income by local committee and branch committee
? Subscription from local people
? Cut money( upto90%) from different Govt. of India social projects like mass education, 100 days work for poor people and so on.
? Extortion of money from building promoters in cities.
? Cut money from Municipality and village development work(50%)
? Money earned for negotiation between land-lord and tenant and family disputes
? Help people to pay less corporation tax and other taxes and thereby earn money.
? Lavy from people who get job under CPIM help.
? For any kind of activity by which people earn livelihood they have to pay commission.
? For smooth transaction of money communists formed people?s organization at every service and industry sector.
Incidentally one can?t show a single people?s activity from where the communists did not extort money.
3) Measures taken by communists to correct people who declines to pay or protest against the system:
? The communists used different tactics other than to beat the man or harass him openly
? Practically the local apolitical committees of CPIM who play a key role in social networking. These people publicly show that they are apolitical but passes information of common people to party. Each such member takes care of 10 common people. For this reason they get extra fecility from Government.
? By this way 15% active communists take scan of the whole population of West Bengal. The total scanning was completed in 1988 under the chairmanship of then CM Mr. Jyoti Basu.
? The rest is easy. If a common people tries to revolute different issues start to happen in his life, like
Problems within family
Divorce between husband and wife
Problems in his workplace
Court case
Deprive from rights etc.
? The more stringent measures were:
? Make him gradually isolated from the society
You being a common people can?t guess where it is wrong
? Most deadly weapon to humanity
One particular way the CPIM controls individual is to create a situation so that he becomes a mental patient. Suppose you are walking through the street and as you pass three group of people, they are discussing some secrets about you. You just imagine what is your condition if this situation persists for one month.
Process to win elections
Within 1992 almost 90% of the common people come to feel what is happening . So they start daring CPIM and during elections they avoid to go to the booths helping the CPIM cadres to rig the polls at most places of West Bengal. If some one dares to go to the polling booth he finds his vote already polled.
During rigging they keep in mind that above 90% polling in favour of CPIM may be a cancellation of election process.
During election where a group of people revolt the party used arms.
The apolitical stooges of CPIM found in the voting line was indicated by the party as free and fair election.
Capture the juditiary
? The party , when first came to power started politicizing school and college students. In some cases of Law college teachers, students all do politics. The examination was fair but if you investigate you will find that the questions are out and there is no evaluation. These law students, after passing out as lawyear join political organization for better carrier and when some of them becomes
judge they persue politics silently for better transfer and better fecility. Kolkata High court chief justice was also found in a land scandal involving the then Chief Minister of West Bengal.
Money Management
The total money gathered by CPIM Politburo per year from west Bengal is 2000-2500 million dollars. This huge money is managed by a few fund managers in a distributive way firstly to evade tax and to avoid vigilance. In the process money was also deposited in the name of pets.
Opposition party
The opposition party leaders are fully purchased as they enjoy all the class ?A fecilities of Government. Whereas most CPIM leaders used to maintain low profile life style.
CPIM is doing all those things for last 34 years in West Bengal in the name of democracy and socialism. They call it the formation of scientific society.
Indeed it is scientific.
