  • Download Liberation April 2021
    COVER STORY APRIL 2021 CENTRAL ORGAN OF CPI(ML) Rs. 25 COVER STORY MLAs Brutally Beaten Inside Bihar Assembly, Police Raj Act Passed The first use of the Bihar Special Armed Police Bill 2021 was perpetrated inside the Bihar Assembly itself on 23 March. Shattering all rules and traditions of the constitutional and parliamentary system, police and goons entered the Assembly, brutally beat up opposition MLAs and pushed them out, after which BJP-JDU passed the draconian Bihar Special Armed Police Bill 2021 changing Bihar into a Police Raj. Earlier, when the Assembly session commenced on 23 March the Opposition started protesting against the Police Raj Bill. The session was adjourned a few times due to opposition protests, and proceedings were obstructed throughout the day. At 5 pm before the session was to end, a large number of RAF police personnel were called inside the Assembly on the orders of the Speaker and the government. Marshals were of course already present. The Bihar DGP, Patna SSP and DM jointly oversaw the beating, kicking, fisticuffing of MLAs as they were pushed and dragged out of the Assembly. The SSP and DM were themselves among those who did the brutal beating. The entire Assembly was filled with police personnel and the Police Raj Act was passed in the complete absence of the Opposition. Journalists were also beaten up. Leader of CPIML legislative party Comrade Mahboob Alam's arm was twisted and wrenched. Comrade Sudama Prasad was pushed and shoved and he fell down the stairs, causing a serious finger injury. A CPIM MLA was so badly beaten up that he lost consciousness.

  • 2021 Manifesto of the Left Front the Backdrop of the Election the Dates for the West Beng
    P a g e | 1 17th Assembly Election in West Bengal: 2021 Manifesto of the Left Front The Backdrop of the Election The dates for the West Bengal State Assembly elections have been announced. We are all aware that for the last one year or so, the struggle of human civilization against the corona pandemic has been going on. Our daily life as well as our movements and struggles are being conducted following all necessary precautions. In this situation, between March 27 and April 29 elections will be held in eight phases in the state of West Bengal. For the large majority of the people of the state this election is the battle for restoring democracy, the battle to end mis- governance and anarchy in the state. For the last ten years the Trinamool Congress party and its government has been running a regime of authoritarian terror in the state. Democratic voices have been throttled in a dictatorial manner. On the one hand, nepotism, corruption, extortion, syndicate rule have been unleashed and on the other hand, attacks have come down on workers, peasants, students, youth and women. Minorities, Scheduled Castes and Indigenous Peoples are similarly under attack. In the forthcoming assembly elections, the people have to concentrate all their strength to bring an end to this disastrous TrinamuIi regime. The Narendra Modi-led RSS-BJP government at the Centre are enforcing agricultural laws and restructuring labour laws all in the interest of corporate business alone. They are relentlessly implementing neo-liberal policies. The lives of ordinary people, including workers and peasants, have become miserable.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Srijani Datta Degree: Master of Arts (Political Science) Title: Gender Gap and Gender Differences in National Party Choices in Indian General Election, 2014 Examining Committee: Chair: Eline de Rooij Associate Professor Eline de Rooij Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Steven Weldon Supervisor Associate Professor Laurel Weldon External Examiner Professor Date Defended/Approved: Dec 03, 2019 ii Abstract Traditionally, Indian women have been more likely to vote for the Indian National Congress (INC) compared to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) than men. In this paper, I draw from the Developmental Theory of Modern Gender Gap on party choices to formulate hypotheses about the socio-demographic factors and gender differences in attitudes that could have led to the gender gap in party choices in the 2014 election. I test these hypotheses by conducting statistical analysis of data from Wave 6 of the World Value Survey. My research shows that contrary to the modern gender gap theory, the gender advantage of India’s centre-left party comes from states with low levels of human development in comparison to more developed states.
