‘Secular forces should unite against BJP’

Communist Party of India (Marxist) Polit Bureau member Prakash Karat has said that secular forces in States should unite against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). There was no point in talking about a national alliance unless this happened, he said here on Wednesday.

“If secular parties in each State are coming together to fight, it will be our priority,” he said.

Mr. Karat said people of Delhi rejected the communal campaign of the BJP and voted back the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to power because of its work in the past five years.

He added that the CPI(M) contested the Delhi election to make its presence felt. “So it was decided that the party will fight in two or three seats and support the AAP in other seats,” he said.
