The Communist Party of India (CPI) has said that it is not satisfied with allocation of one seat by the Congress in the forthcoming elections to Telangana legislative assembly, but the party has to put up with it to defeat the “undemocratic and dictatorial” Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS).
CPI national council member Chada Venkat Reddy said the party entered into understanding with the Congress under “inevitable” circumstances. The two Left parties are not fighting the polls together as the CPI (M) could not forge an understanding with the Congress. “Alliances have become unavoidable and hence, our understanding with the Congress,” he said.
Mr. Venkat Reddy who participated in a Meet-the-Press programme organised by the Telangana Union of Working Journalists here on Thursday asserted that the party would continue its struggle for issues of public importance irrespective of the party that would come to power after the elections. He alleged that there was “tacit understanding” between the BJP and the BRS as could be seen from the IT raids on the Congress candidates ahead of elections.
