Resurrecting the Congress

The post-election realignment offerees, on an anti-BJP, anti-communal platform, disregarding all other issues, is making way for a Congress come back, wiping out decades of anti-Congressism and will blunt the edge of anti-establishment politics. A new agenda has been set for the big bourgeoisie with the possibilities of a 'transfer of power' to new groups among the dalits, backwards and regional entities, ensuring continued support. The vacillations of Left forces on whether or not to join the United Front government show that they have, as yet, not reckoned with the emerging reality.
