Vehicles were hired free of cost. Yet many of them ran almost empty. Several quintals of cooked meat were also distributed for free. It was an extravagant arrangement, reinforced by threats and intimidation in different localities. Despite all this, on January 10, Damchhara witnessed a dull and uninspiring public meeting of the Tripura chief minister, staged by mobilising people from across North Tripura district.

WITH the West Bengal assembly elections approaching, the Left parties, particularly the CPI(M), are facing intense media scrutiny, prompting numerous questions about their current political position. Interestingly, those who once dismissed the CPI(M) as irrelevant are now faced with its visible presence. Unable to ignore the party's activities, they are attempting to mislead the public by raising contentious issues. It is therefore crucial to address some of these concerns directly.

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement on February 08, 2026

As details of the Indo–US trade deal slowly emerge, it is becoming evident that the BJP-led Union government has made sweeping concessions to the United States in the so-called ‘interim deal’. These concessions pose a serious threat to India’s economy, agriculture, and national sovereignty.

THE Overseas Mobility (Facilitation and Welfare) Bill, 2025, which the Union Government intends to table in the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament, arrives not as a shield for the vulnerable, but as a legislative auction block where the Indian working class is sold to the highest bidder. This Bill represents an institutionalized betrayal, a premeditated retreat by the State from its fundamental duty to protect its citizens.

THE role of US, and specifically of President Donald Trump, is assuming the spectacle of ‘bulldozer’. In India, we are now familiar with the unilateral deployment of ‘bulldozers’ to trample legitimate rights of the weak and the defenceless. In a majoritarian ambience, such display of naked aggression finds loud approval from the bhakt brigade in the social media space.
