NEW DELHI, JULY 9: Away from the limelight, the two senior Left parties, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the CPI, are in the throes of major crises which have thrown the respective outfits into disarray of a nature not seen in recent years.
The latest blow was delivered by the CPI's lone member of the erstwhile Lok Sabha from Manipur, Kim Gangte, who quit earlier this week to join George Fernandes' Samata Party thus formalising her links with Rightist forces which first surfaced during the vote of confidence lost by Prime Minister A B Vajpayee.
Gangte had come very close to ensuring Vajpayee's continuance in power and therein lies a story.
Gangte reiterated that the Kukis’ war of independence 1917-1919 had made crystal clear the political principle and direction of the KUKIS.
Gangte told KIF representatives that in recent years; symposium and seminars were organized in which many noted scholars from the Northeast India had come to accept the griping authenticity of the KUKIS' HISTORY.
Gangte sincerely applauded the tedious and meticulous contributions of KIF and its collective leadership.
