CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby on Friday said the political situation in India is at a turning point and the countdown to the downfall of the Modi government has discernibly commenced. He cited the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan as evidence of this.
Addressing a press conference in Kolkata, Baby said the Left forces in West Bengal are regaining influence among the masses and that the foundation for faster expansion of the party in the state has already been laid.
The remarks come amid ongoing political realignments ahead of several state elections.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The CPI(M) has seen its electoral base shrink sharply since 2014, winning just three Lok Sabha seats in 2024. M A Baby's claim of a government countdown reflects the party's attempt to rally a fragmented opposition, but it lacks tangible evidence beyond a single cabinet resignation. The real measure will be whether the party can convert this rhetoric into seat gains in upcoming assembly polls in states like Maharashtra and Jharkhand, where it faces a resurgent BJP and regional rivals.
The Left's revival in West Bengal, where it once ruled for 34 years, remains uphill: the party drew a blank in the 2024 general election from the state, while the TMC swept all seats.
