AGARTALA, Feb 16 (TIWN): Manik Sarkar led CPI-M’s decades long era marked with mass deprivation, poverty, incompetence which narrated by none other than Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen. Nobel Laureate and eminent economist Amartya Sen had accused CPI-M for ruining industrial development in Bengal during its 3 decades rule. Before 2016 Bengal Assembly elections, Amartya Sen said that Left Front not only destroyed state’s economy but generated huge unemployment and poverty. "I think that even in Leftist thoughts, there are many flaws. Without applying reasoning it was often decided what to do or what not to do. This way problems were created," the celebrated economist said at a workshop held by Pratichi Trust in Dec 2015. Tripura Communists are no different than their Bengal counterparts as CPI-M Chief Minister Manik Sarkar followed the same path of destroying State’s economy in 25 yrs rule. Lack of economic planning, lack of industrialization caused massive unemployments & poverty in State. In 2016, Tripura ranks 4th nationwide in unemployment due to CPI-M’s grand plan of mass ‘poverty generation’ to fill its cadre base. Massive break-down of healthcare, poor infrastructures, unemployment is the outcome of Communist rule in Tripura.

In 1962, when China attacked India and captured a large territory in the Himalayas, every citizen of the country felt his pride greatly hurt and expressed anger against the government’s military unpreparedness, resulting in crushing defeat.

But the Marxists had different feelings. For them it was a victory of Chinese PLA, who were fighting for the peasants and workers of the world against the pro-American, pro-capitalists and anti-people government headed by Pt. Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India. They believed rather India was an aggressor and occupying Chinese territory. As it shows today they kept mum during Chinese recent incursions and their claim over Sikkim and Arunachal. 

Communists in India always worked against national interest, so Tripura is no exception till they ruin the State like Bengal.

Socialism must be on liberal democratic ideology. Rule of law not based on fascism and rule of party. 

Narendra Modi's multiple rallies in Tripura might be setting death knell on Manik's 25 yrs Communist rule.
