CPI-M says BJP's defeat priority; remains non-committal on 'grand alliance'


New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS): The CPI-M on Monday said its priority was to defeat the BJP both in the upcoming Assembly polls as well as next year's Lok Sabha elections, but it remained non-committal on joining the Congress-led 'mahagathbandhan' (grand alliance).

Addressing a press conference, party general secretary Sitaram Yechury said it will contest some seats in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh while it will campaign for the defeat of the BJP in the rest of the seats.

"We will decide on joining the 'mahagathbandhan' when time comes. Let things crystallise. For now, our priority is to defeat the BJP and ensure formation of secular governments," Yechury said.

    Mamata Begum, Mayawati , CB Naidu, Akhilesh Yadav are all tryin to be the PM. They have state wide appeal and administration experience of being CMs or some leadership position. So where does that leave our Raul Vinci ? His experience is only 33 election losses and 22 state losses? and of course funny videos on the internet. So is he out of the 'mahaghatbandhan'???

    CPI(M) can make an impact defeating both BJP and the congress but you'll have to work for the.people.

    Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyone’s different needs.

    People need change we are looking for options, can v trust u?
