Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) acting president M.M. Hassan has said that Congress will hold parleys on whether to accept the support offered by Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) to United Democratic Front in the Lok Sabha elections.
We have not held discussions with the SDPI seeking its support, he said at a meet-the-press programme organised by the Ernakulam Press Club here on April 1 (Monday) in connection with the Lok Sabha election. Mr. Hassan refused to comment when asked whether SDPI was a communal party.
The KPCC president in-charge alleged that there was a tacit understanding between Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Kerala. Both the parties are trying to widen their partnership. The photographs of leaders of Janata Dal (S) and its Minister in the LDF government in Kerala, which appeared in the poster of an National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate in Karnataka, were part of this unholy alliance, he alleged.
