Hyderabad, Nov. 22: Decks have almost been cleared for a pre-poll pact between the Telugu Desam and the Left parties.
The Communist Party of India general secretary, Mr A.B. Bardhan, on Saturday dropped enough hints in this regard. While addressing mediapersons on the sidelines of the CPI state executive meeting in Hyderabad, Mr Bardhan stressed upon the need for unity among the Left parties to build a Left-Democratic force at the national level to counter the Congress and the BJP.
"This force should not be set up only for elections. It should be constituted to fight against problems being faced by the common man," he said.
Even though, the CPI has not yet announced its decision on having an alliance with the TD, political observers interpret Mr Bardhan’s call for "unity among the Left" is a clear indication that the CPI is ready to toe the line of the Marxist party to join hands with the TD. Interestingly, in an indirect reference to the TD, Bardhan said, "Some parties may have committed mistakes in the past. But now they are realising it. And are ready to rectify them to join hands with us."
