Patna: The three left left parties in the state did not interest the former National Executive Member of President Jnuu Kanhaiya Kumar joined Congress in Delhi on Tuesday.
Their dominant view is that it is “Jhatka while” (shock and setback) for them, but more “advance loss” for the CPI that has invested a lot to create a youth icon from the left.
Kanhaiya has lost the 2019 parliamentary election to BJP Stalwart Giriraj Singh for the Begusarai chair.
He, in fact, stood third, with the second RJD Nominee Tanveer Hassan Faring, because there was no alliance between CPI and RJD in the selection of Lok Sabha.
Since Begusarai is his home district and the city has been known as Leningrad from Bihar, it proved to be a surprised defeat for Kanhaiya and set a sense of disappointment with the CPI in him.
Noting that it was “personal ambition and understanding of the situation” who pushed Kanhaiya to join Congress, the left leaders also said, “At Communist parties, the individual is important, but the party is on the individual.
Therefore, in the long run , the party will not be damaged.
Because, Kanhaiya is not the first of the left to join Congress, or another party.
Rahmat who saved was he did not join BJP.
“Babu Kumar Ram from the CPI felt rather relieved, when he said,” Now even When in Congress, he will be on the same ideological page as the left parties in matters of various national problems.
” Opinions between the left parties also that Congress should not be toxic on the left or other parties, if you want to build a larger anti-BJP alliance.
The cross section opinion on the left is also that the CPI has given Kanhaiya everything it has, because it projects it on the national stage.
“The CPI has invested a lot to him, because he was young, articulating and well-established instant relationship with youth.
He has become a youth icon, which is a new thing on the left,” said a leader left.
“But Kanhaiya shows a lack of commitment.
They are among the youth outside the left, who think of the icon, it might be disappointed.
That is the problem he has made by changing its ideological position, but the party will remain intact, and may even develop after more assessment Realistic, “he added.
