Revolutionary Communist Party of India
Encyclopedia
Revolutionary Communist Party of India is a political party
in India. The party was founded by Saumyendranath Tagore in 1934, breaking away from the Communist Party of India
. During the period 1934–1938 the name of the party was Communist League. The name RCPI was taken at the 3rd party congress in 1938.
RCPI were against the new Popular Front
ist politics of CPI and the cooperation with the Indian National Congress
. During Second World War RCPI supported the Quit India Movement
, och and a large part of the leadership was imprisoned.
After the war RCPI started organizing soviet
s (panchayats) amongst peasants and workers, as a first step towards the Indian revolution. Differnent views on the revolutionary what led to a split in 1948, and Pannanlal Dasgupta (who was general secretary of RCPI during the war years) broke away and formed his own RCPI: Dasgupta advocated armed struggle. The leadership of Dasgupta's party was later on taken over by Sudhir Kumar.
In 1960 the trotskyist Revolutionary Workers Party merged with the RCPI of Kumar. In the state elections in West Bengal
the RCPI of Kumar won several seats. But when the RCPI of Kumar supported Nehru's line in the war against China, many of the leading Trotskyists pulled out of RCPI.
Ahead of the 1967 elections the RCPI of Tagore had been registered under the name Bharater Biplabi Communist Party (RCPI in Bengali
) whereas Kumar's party had been registered under the name RCPI.
What later happened to the RCPI of Tagore is unclear. If one studies electoral results from 1971 it appears that he switched over to Kumar's party (the election results shows a Soumendra Nath Tagore as an RCPI candidate, in the same constituency were Sauyendra Nath Tagore stood for BBCP in 1969. It also possible that it is just a mix-up on behalf of the Election Commission.), at the same time as the BBCP lived on. The registered name BBCP disappeared in 1972 but resurged in 1977. According to Alexander (see below) Tagore's party was split in two, with one led by Anandi Das. But earlier Anandi Das had been part of Kumar's RCPI.
During the 1980s Kumar's RCPI participated in elections as independent candidates. The party was split in two, and in 1991 West Bengal
state assembly elections two RCPIs contested in the Hansan constituency. RCPI (Rasik Bhatt) and RCPI (Gouranga Sit). Later RCPI(GS) seems to have disappeared. Also the parties formed out of Tagore's RCPI seems to have disappeared. RCPI (Rasik Bhatt) is most likely RCPI group still around. The party has a very limited presence in West Bengal
and Assam
, and has at times been part of Left Front
governments in West Bengal
. It is led by Mihir Bain.Subhash Roy is one of the senior leaders of this party and at times he represents it in LF meetings.
The party is a member of the Left Front
in West Bengal
.
In the city of Howrah RCPI won a seat in the municipal council polls in 2003 (In total the Left Front
had put up two RCPI-candidates in the city).In the 2008 Panchayet elections, it has won 3 panchayet seats and a zilla parishad seat in Nadia. The party has retained its lone ward in Howrah municipal corporation elections in 2008.In the 2010 munical polls, RCPI will be contesting ward no.87 in Kolkata as a LF partner. Its candidate is Simki Sengupta. It will also contest a seat at Gayeshpur in Nadia district. It has retained its seat at Gayeshpur municipality. RCPI's headquarters is at Bhawanipore, Kolkata.
The party had a base in the Shantipore constituency in Nadia district of West Bengal for a long time. The seat was represented by veteran leader late Bimalananda Mukherjee many times. In 2006, CPI(M) has snatched this seat from RCPI's quota and currently the party has left with only the Hasan assembly segment in Birbhum district to contest with as a LF constituent.
In the 2011 West Bengal assembly election , the RCPI contested the Hansan (Vidhan Sabha constituency)
and the Shantipur (Vidhan Sabha constituency) as a Left Front partner. Both its candidates lost the election.
RCPI had participated in various mass-movements along with the other left parties during the Congres rule in Bengal.
The party has little influence left in Assam.
In 2009, its two candidates in Jorhat and Guhawati constituencies received 5642 and 7477 votes respectively.
Raj Kumar Dowara and Ambu Bora were the candidates respectively.
It contested both Shantipur and Hasan seats in 2011 assembly polls as a LF partner. But it lost both of them.
Basthura Kalyan Parishad (Refugee Welfare Council) was an RCPI-related (unclear which faction) organization active in camps for refugees from East Pakistan
who came to West Bengal
after Partition
in 1947. RCPI was especially active in the camps near Nadia
.
The party Real Communist Party of India
which existed around 1991, was most probably an RCPI-splinter-group.
