At the fag end of second phase campaign of Lok Sabha election 2024 scheduled on April 26, PM Narendra Modi’s stronghold Hindi heartland states are emanating signals that they are heading for a clipping of his poll ambitions. BJP’s performance in the first phase of election in these states was frustrating, which resulted in PM Modi’s uncalled for tirade against Muslims in a bid to polarize Hindu votes in his favour. However, it seemed helping him only a little in the second phase against INDIA bloc’s aggressive election campaigns.

The Martyr’s Day we observed on March 23 leads us to sharpen our struggle against the communal fascism threatening India. It is the day when Bhagat Singh, a young man of 23, was hanged by the British colonialists along with his two other comrades. He was not afraid when he was taken to the gallows nor were his two friends, who were awaiting the same fate. Turning into an icon of revolution in his lifetime itself, Bhagat Singh opted for gallows, though only after communicating a message. It was to convey to the countrymen that Socialism was the only way to ensure freedom for the entire humankind, to end exploitation of man by man, and to usher in the new construct based on scientific principles. It could be done only after power came to the masses and their representatives. One of his famous quotes from prison was, “…the struggle in India would continue as long as handful of exploiters go on exploiting the labour of common people for their own ends. It matters little whether these exploiters are purely British Capitalists or British and Indian alliance or purely Indian.”
