Patna: Ruling out the possibility of his party playing any role in Government formation after the Assembly poll in Bihar, CPML (Communist Party of India-Marxist Leninist) (Liberation) today (Jan 25, 2005) called upon the electorate to vote for it for stepping up the fight for complete social transformation and strengthening the democratic rights of the people.

Releasing his party's manifesto for the February poll in Bihar at a press conference in Patna, CPML General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya made it clear that his party would not join hands with any other party in Government formation and would prefer to play "the role of a militant Opposition as chances of formation of a Government irrevocably committed to people's welfare appear very bleak."

Stating that his party was striving for cobbling together "an anti-NDA (National Democratic Alliance) and anti-RJD-Congress front against the criminal-corrupt politician-police nexus," the CPML leader said his party would make sustained efforts to finish the private armies of feudal forces for building a better Bihar.

"The CPML wants to get Bihar freed from armies of feudal forces, mafia elements, murder, loot, kidnapping, rape, terror, flood, drought, atrocities on women, starvation and unemployment," he said and urged the electorate to exercise their franchise in favour of his party.

The party in its manifesto pledged that it would fight for improving infrastructure, protecting rights of the minorities, making the public distribution system more transparent and poor-oriented, freeing Panchayati Raj institutions from the clutches of bureaucrats and revival of sick industries.
