Press Statement
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
Destabilising MVA Government
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the manner in which MLAs belonging to the Shiv Sena have been spirited away to Surat and then to Guwahati, both BJP-ruled states. This has been done by the BJP utilising the State machinery in both states. The Central agencies have also been utilised to target ministers and legislators of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government with the aim of destabilising the government.
This shameless use of State power is in line with earlier efforts to target opposition-ruled state governments with a view to topple them.
The Polit Bureau calls upon all democratic sections to protest against this misuse of State power to undermine democracy.
