Kolkata, November 22: CPM patriarch Jyoti Basu on Tuesday attributed NDA allianceâs victory in Bihar Assembly polls to division of âsecularâ forces and regretted that CPI, which had aligned with Ramvilas Paswan-led LJP, could not come together with CPM in a pre-poll alliance with RJD-led front.
âWe (secular forces) could not unite. Even CPI and CPM could not come together (in a pre-poll alliance with RJD),â Basu said blaming the division among secular forces as a contributory factor for the sweep of JD(U)-BJP combine in the Bihar Assembly election.
