THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury has said that the BJP led government at the Centre was brazenly gong ahead with advancing the fascistic RSS project in the country. In an interview to party’s Bangla mouthpiece Ganashakti, Yechury indirectly contradicted politburo member Prakash Karat’s recent write up in which the latter had described the Modi Government as authoritarian and not fascist.
Yechury quoted CPM's updated party programme to expose the fascistic RSS project.''The threat to the secular foundations has become menacing with the rise of the communal and fascistic RSS-combine and its assuming power in the Centre.” The Programme further says; “the danger of fascist trends gaining ground, based on religious communalism, must be firmly fought at all levels. The BJP is no ordinary bourgeois party as the fascistic Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh guides and dominates it. When the BJP is in power, the RSS gets access to the instruments of State power and the State machinery.
The Hindutva ideology promotes revivalism and rejects the composite culture of India with the objective of establishing a Hindu Rashtra. Besides, a substantial section of big business and landlords, imperialism headed by the USA, is lending all-out support to the BJP. The CPM general secretary also quoted from international communist documents. “Whoever does not fight the reactionary measures of the bourgeoisies and the growth of fascism at these preparatory stages, is not in a position to prevent the victory of fascism, but on the contrary, facilitates that victory,” Yechury said.
