CPM rattled by partners' revolt
Embroiled with a plethora of political problems -- from alleged suicide of Rizwanur, Nandigram, and Taslima Nasreen -- CPI(M)'s Polit Bureau meeting beginning on Monday will come up with more conciliatory strategy to win over the dissenting Left Front partners.
Party insiders said that the emergency Polit Bureau meeting will tell the Left Front partners not to precipitate the situation by publicly censuring CPI(M).
But Nandigram will be on top of the agenda. The West Bengal Governor's repeated unfavourable statements and his tough stand on Nandigram during his last week's meeting with President Pratibha Patil and Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil has added to party's frustration. The PB will also take up the way the LF partners have spoken in divided voices over the Nandigram violence.
The PB will also review the Kerala situation where PB member Pinarayi Vijayan is facing a high-level inquiry for his alleged involvement in a multi-crore scam.
According to sources, what has worried the CPI(M) leadership is that while it has persuaded the Congress at the Centre not to embarrass the party on Nandigram or Rizwanur issues, but so far it has not been able to win over the Left Front partners.
Last month CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat had requested CPI general secretary AB Bardhan to persuade the dissenting Left Front partners, like, RSP and Forward Bloc leaders to give up their anti-CPI(M) attacks on the issue of Nandigram.

commies are still busy attacking Modi and are sleeping on Nandigram. Current government sponsored tour by anti Hindu brigade is visiting US to deliver lecture against Hindus, Gujarati and Modi.
Shame on them.
