The Cpi(M) And Its Propaganda Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Today the CPI(M) talks big,
Levels allegations against
Booth-rigging, ballot paper-tearing,
Intimidating and so on,
But what did it do
When it had been in power,
Who knows it?

How it threatened and brought to size,
Reviewing the votes polled and demarcating
Those who voted against
Through the statistics
On guess-work and supposition,
Making the illiterates and fools
Councilors and chieftains,
Area commanders?

To do propaganda,
Orchestrate a revolution,
Demonstrate violently,
Raise slogans
And to spread rumours
The job of the CPI(M) ,
Having rigged and torn ballot papers
Will say,
Why have the others, the non-Communists
Torn it,
Respond you, reply you?
