It has been criticized by both Hindu and Muslim Communal fanatics for its stand on Communalism. It strives for democratic values, and upholds the ardent struggle for democracy and a just living waged against the one sided imperialist globalization.

It was also criticized for being silent about the unholy connection between Corporate Lobbyists and political leaders like Budhadeb and Nirupam Sen. It comes out with a materialistic analysis on all contemporary, national and international issues.

It also neglects the news items with regard to the corrupt activities carried out by section of the party activists.
