Towing the line of the Communist Party of India (CPI), the CPI(Marxist) also extended its support to the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in the byelection to Munugode Assembly constituency.
The State secretary of CPI(M) Tammineni Veerabhadram told a media conference today (September 1) that the support to the TRS was distinct from that of the CPI as it was limited to the election alone. “The CPI(M) could not give unconditional support like the one by the CPI as it was not sure of the path the TRS would take in the future,” he said.
Mr. Veerabhadram said all mainstream parties had sought support of the Marxist party in the election as it had considerable base in the constituency. “The party took the views of its cadre and arrived at the decision.”
