`Onus on Congress to keep Opposition vote intact'

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, FEB. 4. The State Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), which met here on February 1 and 2, said that the Congress, as the main Opposition party, had a greater role to play in preventing the division of the Opposition vote.

Releasing the resolutions adopted at the meeting, B.V. Raghavulu, secretary of the State Committee, said, if the communal Telugu Desam-Bharatiya Janata Party (TDP-BJP) combine was to be defeated, it would become imperative for the secular Opposition to ensure that there was no division and the onus of this was on the Congress.

The meeting was highly critical of the stand adopted by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) against the Congress and the Communist parties and alleged that the party was directly helping the Telugu Desam and the BJP. Instead of working for the interest of Telangana, it was working for the communal parties. Expressing happiness at the progress of talks with the Communist Party of India, the meeting hoped to improve its performance in the coming elections.
