KOLLAM: RSP national secretary K.Pankajakshan said that if CPM leader Jyoti Basu’s statement that socialism should be postponed for industrialisation was CPM’s policy, RSP would have to take its own stance.

Inaugurating the delegates session of the RSP state conference in Kollam, he said that he could not understand how a CPM leader like Jyoti Basu could make such a statement which could change the basis of Marxist ideology.

He said Jyoti Basu’s statement could not be considered as an isolated one as his statement had been ratifying the stance of West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya in this regard. Pankajakshan said the Marxist-Leninist ideologies had never agreed to this stance.

He said in spite of the opposition from the Church and capitalism the Soviet Union had proved that they could implement industrialisation. They had succeeded in emerging as one of the biggest industrialised countries.

Coming down heavily on the performance of the CPM ministers M.A. Baby and G.Sudhakaran, he said that Baby was thoughtlessly making declarations on educational reforms on a daily basis and doing nothing.

He is making the declarations even without discussing it within the LDF. He has not been taking the students organisations and educational establishments into confidence . In certain cases, he is implementing his own decisions without any consultations.

Pankajakshan said the educational reforms should have been discussed at the policy-making body of the LDF. The declarations made without proper thinking and consultations have invited vehement criticism from all corners.

Pankajakshan said that the Devaswom Minister G. Sudhakaran was making unnecessary controversies in the name of God. “He will eulogise the media one fine morning and shower abuses on it the next day”, he said.

The Finance Minister’s obstinate approach in financial management had been hampering welfare and development activities. The Finance Minister has of late started sanctioning funds for certain departments.

As a result, road repair works had started. The RSP leader said LDF leadership had not been taking any effort to correct the ministers.

He said a constituent of the LDF was snatching away the seats of RSP in Kollam citing splits in the party. Without naming CPM, he said that party had not followed the same line when they had experienced splits.

RSP central secretariat member V.P.Ramakrishna Pillai presided. P.K.Divakaran, K.Cicily, Salim P.Chacko and A.A.Aziz spoke. State secretary T.J.Chandrachoodan presented the report.
