After June 4, the 'India' coalition government will be formed in India, with the Communists supporting it from outside. This announcement was made by CPI(M) National General Secretary, Comrade Sita Ram Yechury, during a large election rally in Jandiala Manjki. The rally supported Master Parshotam Lal Bilga, the joint candidate from Jalandhar (Reserved) Lok Sabha constituency of CPI(M) and CPI.
Addressing the rally, CPI(M) Punjab State Secretary Comrade Sukhwinder Singh Sekhon and CPI Punjab State Secretary Comrade Bant Singh Brar stated that this time, four Communist candidates and nine Congress candidates, including Comrade Parshotam Lal Bilga, will reach the Lok Sabha from Punjab. They predicted that all other parties would be completely defeated.
The rally was presided over by CPI(M) senior leader Comrade Bhup Chand Channo and CPI district secretary Comrade Rashpal Kaile, with Comrade Sukhpreet Singh Johal of CPI(M) serving as the stage secretary. Thousands attended despite the scorching sun.
In his speech, Comrade Yechury criticized the BJP government under Modi for bringing the country to the brink of destruction through measures like demonetization, GST, and COVID-19 restrictions, which have impoverished millions.
He highlighted the government's actions that have divided the country on communal lines and sold public institutions to corporate houses. He warned that if the government is not ousted, they would change the constitution and destroy democracy.
Comrade Sukhwinder Singh Sekhon criticized the Punjab government for corruption, lawlessness, and political vendettas, which have disillusioned the people. He mentioned the weakening credibility of the Akali Dal due to its alliance with the BJP and asserted that Punjabis would reject such communal parties.
Comrade Sekhon also referenced past communist leaders who reached Parliament from Punjab. Comrade Bant Singh Brar spoke about the election agreement between CPI and CPI(M) in Punjab and their support for the Congress party in nine Lok Sabha seats.
