CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Subhashini Ali has said that the country needs more Left MPs as they are committed to fight against the BJP and its anti-people and anti-minority policies.
She was speaking at the Face to Face programme organised by Kollam Press Club here on Sunday. “In order to maintain the Kerala model, there should be a large number of Left MPs in the Parliament. We want Congress to put up a strong fight against BJP, but the Congress manifesto does not mention the Citizenship Amendment Act. Congress also remained silent on the attacks on minorities and the biggest problem is that they cannot stop their own leaders from joining the BJP. In Kerala too, K. Karunakaran’s daughter and A.K. Antony’s son joined the BJP. How can Congress oppose BJP when their leaders are joining BJP like this?” she said.
Ms Ali added that it’s unfortunate that the Congress did not try to keep the members of the front together in the assembly elections held after the formation of INDIA bloc.
