FB joins anti-Cong chorus within LF

“Let the BJP Government collapse under the burden of its own contradictions, pulls and pressures that it has to absorb for clinging to power,” said the party’s All-India General Secretary Debabrata Biswas.

Differing with the CPI(M) leadership on the issue of identifying the Congress as a `newfriend in the process’, the Biswas said: “We see no basic differences between the BJP and the Congress. The Congress is neither democratic nor secular and we cannot have any adjustment with the party.”“The way Sonia Gandhi has taken over the party leadership recently only exposed to what extent it believed in inner-party democracy,”Biswas said.Differing with the CPI(M), the AIFB said: “the failure of the United Front experiment has proved that an alternative political front worked out on the basis of post-poll alliance cannot survive.”

“We must work out an alternative movement before a front. For a front born of a movement can only survive the test of time,” Biswas said, adding that “we must try to bring into the alternative movement all Left-minded people to build up a greater Left movement in the country to resist the BJP and the forces it represents.”
