The CPI-M politburo member B.V. Raghavulu has said that more regional parties would join hands with the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc if the BJP faced defeat in elections to five State Assemblies just like in Karnataka. The BJP was in a hurry to conduct simultaneous elections to Assemblies and Lok Sabha to avoid such a ‘drubbing’, he told The Hindu.
Mr. Raghavulu was at Vaddeswaram near here to attend the party’s meeting on Thursday.
