Didi’s diktat: Don’t marry into CPM families-ToI-17.4.12


Kolkata: If Trinamool Congress has its way, there will be no marriages between CPM cadres and the ruling partymen as well as their families in Bengal. This is officially laid down party policy adopted to take on the CPM before the panchayat elections in 2013. 
    Food and supplies minister Jyotipriya Mullick has asked partymen not to build any personal relationships with CPM cadres, saying this will weaken the
 resolve of the party workers to fight the CPM politically. “I am not talking of any violence. I requested our workers to boycott the CPM personally. I told my party workers not to mingle with CPM cadre, not to chat with them at tea stalls or attend social gatherings organised by them,” Mullick told TOI. 
    “We’ve vowed to boycott the CPM personally. Our workers must ensure that nobody in their family enters into any marital relationship with any CPM leader or supporter,” Mullick said at a party meeting in Habra in North 24-Parganas on Sunday. Among those present at the meeting was Trinamool MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar. “This is important to build resolve among our workers. Should they build personal relationships with the CPM, it will be difficult to fight them politically. I asked the partymen to avoid any relative who has anything to
 do with the Left,” he said. 
    In spite of her comprehensive victory in the 2011 Assembly elections, Mamata Banerjee is insecure about the inroads that the CPM has made in rural Bengal over the last 34 years. “We must continue with our tirade against the CPM and take steps to isolate the party that has destroyed growth in Bengal,” he added.
