Communists see themselves as an alternative in State
Staff Reporter
People have rejected TDP, BJP and TRS , says Narayana
# Negative campaigning by TDP and inflammatory speeches by TRS leaders counter-productive
# Coordination among Congress and Left parties and the good work done by the Government have paved the way for victory of the combine
# Poll results and post-flood situation in the State to be discussed during the party's conference in Hyderabad slated for October 9
VIJAYAWADA: State secretary of the Communist Party of India (CPI) K. Narayana on Wednesday observed that the existing political scenario in the State was conducive for the Left parties to strengthen their base and emerge an alternative political front.
Addressing a press conference here, Dr. Narayana said that elections to civic bodies proved that people rejected the negative campaigning by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and inflammatory speeches by leaders of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
Parties criticised
People had vehemently opposed the TDP, the TRS and the BJP and reposed confidence in the Congress-Left combine. The TDP conducted its poll campaign in an "irresponsible manner" while the TRS tried to derive political mileage by stirring regional sentiments, he said. The opposition of the TRS to the special package from the Centre for development of the region had contributed to its debacle.
"Coordination among the Congress and Left parties and the good work done by the State Government in the last 15 months have paved the way for a thumping victory of the combine in the elections," he said.
Committed to alliance
Referring to the attempts of the TDP to woo elected representatives of the CPI in some municipalities, Dr. Narayana said though the posts offered were coveted, the party had politely declined the proposal as it was committed to the pre-poll alliance.
The CPI leader pointed out that the CPI had won a significant number of wards and divisions in 12 municipalities and four municipal corporations respectively.
Issues on the agenda
Issues like poll results and post-flood situation in the State would be discussed during the party's two-day State-level conference in Hyderabad slated for October 9. "Differences between the CPI and the CPI (M) are negligible and we will work together to strengthen our base in the State," he said.
Trade unions backed
Dr. Narayana said that the party supported the call given by the trade unions to observe one-day national strike on September 29 in protest against privatisation of public sector undertakings. The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government should stick to the National Common Minimum Programme, he said.
