When The Cpi(M) Had Been In Power In West Bengal Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

When the CPI(M) had been in power
In West Bengal,
Administration had been
In the hands of the organizations
Organizing at the grassroots level,
I mean the Local Committee, the zonal Committee
And the District committee secretaries and members
And the secretaries and presidents
Of the feeder unions
Of the mother organization.

Lips were sealed,
The freedom of the press censured,
The comrades used to hold their sways,
The cadres' words the last words,
Comrades and cadres wreaking havoc
To the rightist families,
Depriving them,
Torturing them mentally and physically.
