Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] State secretary M.V. Govindan has said the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is unlikely to create an impact among the public.
He said here on Tuesday that the party which suffered from an identity crisis could no longer project a secular image owing to its alleged “soft Hindutva” stand.
Mr. Govindan, who participated in a meet-the-press programme at the Kesari Memorial Hall here on Tuesday, hailed the ‘Bihar model’ of politics to counter the purported efforts made to destabilise non-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments. He, however, dismissed the possibility of anti-BJP forces joining hands in Kerala for the common goal.
