Agartala: The US
government has decided to deploy over half of its naval fleet in
the Indian Ocean and South China Sea to take on China, Communist
Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) politburo member Sitaram Yechury
said here Saturday.
"The US became frightened following the growth and hence decided
to deploy 60 percent of its naval fleet and additional strength in
Indian Ocean and South China Sea to deal with China," Yechury told
a gathering here.
"Realising its future economic fate, the US has also been trying
to grab oil and natural gas resources of this region besides West
Asia, Arab countries and others," he said, addressing a function
to mark the birth centenary of Leftist leader and first CPI-M
chief Putchalapalli Sundarayya.
On the coal block allocation issue, which had paralysed parliament
for several days, Yechury alleged that both the Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) and Congress have done "match-fixing" on the issue and
thus both the parties does not want to discuss it in parliament.
He said that there are lots of irregularities have taken place in
the coal block allocation.
"The UPA (United Progressive Alliance) and BJP led governments
arbitrarily had allocated coal blocks without proper auctions."
Demanding cancellation of the licences and coal block allocation,
the CPI-M leader asked the government to disclose every detail on
the urgent national issue to the people of the country.
"Some people saying that Left parties have been removed from power
in West Bengal and Kerala, how it would survive in Tripura. The
Left parties would not only keep its government in the next year's
assembly polls in Tripura, but would also come back power in the
other two states too," the CPI-M politburo member said.
CPI-M leader Gautam Das also spoke in the gathering held at the
Agartala town hall.
The 20th Congress of the CPI-M, held in Kozhikode in Kerala, had
decided to hold a year-long observance of the birth centenary of
Sundarayya from May 1.
Sundarayya was the general secretary of the CPI-M from its
inception in 1964 and played a major role in establishing the
party as a leading force in the Left movement in the country.
