As NDA candidate Draupadi Murmu is expected to win the presidential election, another debate is active in political Kerala. Communists and Congress, who claim to be the progressives of Kerala, but claim to be the party of the poor, will see their true colors come out in this election. NDA candidate Draupadi belongs to the Murmu Vanavasi tribe. It is the stance of the Congress and the Communists who insult a tribal woman for the first time to the status of the country's first citizen through regular verbal abuse.
If the Communist movements, which claim to have taken up many struggles for the tribals and the backward, cannot support a Dalit woman for the post of President, the survival of their fundamental ideas will be questioned. Struggling to keep the Muslim community together through appeasement, the Pinarayi Vijayan government is actually implementing minority appeasement and neglecting the backward sections.
The progressives who were supposed to support a forest tribal woman were actually deceiving them. Even the left intelligentsia in Kerala has not yet responded in this regard. This shows their fake Dalit face. Yashwant Sinha also had the full support of the communists who pretended to love Dalits and claimed to be their protectors.
This turning of the face of the Congress and the Communists came when multiple parties with political differences from the BJP accepted this decision with open arms. We have seen the attitude of the CPM to the SDPI leaders who visited the AKG center on the Martyrdom Day of Abhimanyu, who belonged to the Vanavasi community. We have also seen that in Balussery, SDPI, DYFI and Muslim League goons conducted a public trial of a Dalit youth named Jishnu and beat him to death and there was no response.
It was communists including the branch secretary who threatened a Dalit girl and her family who were recently attacked by land mafias in Muvattupuzha and said that they will not agree to live. They want Dalits only to vote, put up posters, beat and go to jail during elections. In reality, all of them are oppressing the backward sections who are emerging into the mainstream of society. A look at history shows that communists have always done this. The fact that the CPM gave a seat to a Dalit in the Politburo for the first time in recent years is the biggest example of their Dalit approach in front of the people.
