As part of creating awareness, prior to West Bengal assembly elections, a people’s forum announced on Wednesday that it would launch an anti-fascist campaign with a slogan “No Vote to BJP”. The campaign would expose RSS-BJP actions that are  ‘undermining and assaulting democratic institutions and secular fabric’ of the country.

The forum consists activists of various people’s movements and secular-progressive groups.  The activists will be in the public with the slogan of “No Vote to BJP”.

Apart from exposing the BJP-RSS, the campaign will also put forward a people’s charter of demands, that will help people make an informed and effective decision in their self-interest and decimate the BJP in the ballot box too, the forum said in its press note. 

Accusing the BJP of facilitating the interest of capitalists mostly from Gujarat state, the Forum said that they want to revive the momentum of the pre-lockdown period movement against anti- CAA  in the context of the upcoming assembly election before it is too late. 

The peoples’ campaign would build district wise anti-fascist networks with the ‘No Vote to BJP’ slogan, to spread their campaign across the length and breadth of the state. The forum also announced a people’s rally to be held in Kolkata on March 10. On January 13, the forum will organise a sit-in protest in solidarity with the farmers’ struggle at Delhi borders, at the Moulali crossing in Kolkata, from 2 pm.
