CPI-M's Days are Numbered, Thunders Rahul

Kolkata, Sep 6 (IANS) Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi declared Monday at his first ever rally here that the days of West Bengal's ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) were numbered.

Recalling his recent visit to Russia, Gandhi told thousands at the Shahid Minar maidan to thunderous applause: "In Russia, the Communist regime came to end suddenly one day. It will happen here (West Bengal) too."

On a day's visit to Kolkata, Gandhi denounced the Left Front government.

"The CPI-M does not belong to the poor people of the state - the adivasis, the marginalised and the poor," he said.

The CPI-M runs a privileged network of its people and shares the benefits of the administration through its "mafia-type" set-up, he said.

Gandhi arrived here earlier in the day to launch the membership drive of the Youth Congress in the state.

Clad in white kurta-pyjama, he reached the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose international airport after noon to the cheers of "Rahul Gandhi Zindabad" from party workers.

Ringed by members of the Special Protection Group (SPG) and commandos of the state police, Gandhi headed for Raj Bhavan in a large convoy.

Congress general secretary K. Keshava Rao, who is in charge of the party's West Bengal affairs, state Congress chief Manas Bhuniya and Congress MP Mausam Benazir Noor accompanied Gandhi.

Gandhi accused the West Bengal government of siphoning off central funds meant for development programmes. But he kept mum on his party’s alliance with the Trinamool Congress in the state.

The Left Front led by the CPI-M has ruled West Bengal since June 1977.

    Nazism and Communism were the two highly dangerious political ideologies which killed millions
    of people around the world. Both of them had their foundation on total lie, and a lie will have
    short life.

    The ungodly ideology being influenced by the Darwinism was promoted by  a perverted minded Karl Marx created a false utopia of equality and heaven on earth, but actually it created hell and poverty in the world.

    World communism was disappeared withing 75 years from the soil it was grown, and it is dying
    everywhere in the world. Some old roots are in India, but as Mr. Rahul Gandhi has predicted,
    Indian communism will be finished within the next decade. The most impractical ideology of class war
    and bloodshed.
