AIADMK backing every measure of BJP: Yechury
Description
The CPI(M) is working towards defeating the BJP-AIADMK alliance in Tamil Nadu, its general secretary Sitaram Yechury said in Coimbatore on Thursday. He charged the AIADMK government with actively supporting every single measure the BJP took in Parliament, including the farm bills and the industrial policy. “Tamil Nadu has a legacy of fighting for the rights of the States and the principle of federalism. But the AIADMK government is actively supporting every single measure of the BJP,” he said. “We will co-operate with all the forces willing to work towards defeating the BJP-AIADMK alliance,” he said. The party remained in the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance and seat sharing talks were continuing, he said. When a journalist suggested that there appeared to be no anti-incumbency in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, he said the ruling party would be defeated in T.N., while in Kerala, the incumbent government would retain power.
