Every day in Ganashakti, we are reading about the continuing human tragedy in North Bengal tea gardens. We cannot expect any help from state or çentral governments. But shall we only continue to blame the failure of governments or do something ourselves?

Then why aren’t we requesting all Party members and sympathisers to contribute their two days salary and create a fund to save the workers?

We say that we are a mass Party. If that be so, then why aren’t we doing these things?

In the 21st Party Congress, you have reviewed "Our growing weakness was the electoral alliance and adjustment that we had entered into with various regional parties". "By this we compromised the identity and independent role of our Party" and therefore "could not gain the people’s confidence". In this review, I am afraid, you might have missed to refer to, as it appears, our alliance with the Congress under the pseudonym Congress for democracy in Tripura in, perhaps, 1977 and our alliance with the Congress at the centre in 2004 with varied results.
