Coimbatore, Jan 28: The three-day meeting of central committee of CPI-M, beginning at Hyderabad from today, will decide the strategy, including seat arrangements, for the
coming Lok Sabha polls, a senior party leader said.
The meeting would take stock of prevailing national political situation, and arrive at a poll strategy, which would be mainly directed at stopping `communal` BJP from
regaining power at the Centre, central committee member, N Sankaraiah told a press meet here.
Observing that a clear political picture was expected to
emerge by then, Sankaraiah said his party, along with
like-minded parties, would only seek `positive votes` from the
electorate to stop the return of BJP-led NDA.
Asked about the situation in Tamil Nadu, in the wake of
the visit of party general secretary Harkishen Singh Surjeet,
he claimed that Surjeet had come to Chennai only to
congratulate DMK for quitting NDA and not to formalise any
poll alliance.
Accusing BJP of attempting to implement its agenda, at the cost of coalition, Sankaraiah cautioned that if BJP won 300 seats at the hustings, as projected by that party, it would discard all the coalition partners and implement its `hidden agenda`, including construction of Ram Temple at Ayodhya.
The DMK and MDMK quitting NDA had come as a big blow and
`totally weakened` BJP, Sankaraiah said and expressed the hope
that PMK, another NDA ally from Tamil Nadu, would follow suit
in a couple of days.
