`NDA will pay for causing instability'

By Our Staff Reporter

MADURAI, MAY 4 . The Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader and politburo member, Sitaram Yechury, has claimed that a viable, stable and alternative government will be formed at the Centre and the secular front will preserve the social fabric of the nation.

Addressing a meeting at Tirupparankunram near here this evening in support of the CPI (M) candidate, P. Mohan, for the Madurai constituency, he said the election would deal a decisive blow to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance for the gross instability the party wrought upon the nation.

He claimed the NDA was panic-stricken over the approaching defeat and hence trained its guns on the Congress chief, Sonia Gandhi's foreign origin issue and the stability plank. But the reality was that there were too many leaders in the Congress-led front to lead the country. Mr. Yechury blamed the Vajpayee government for starvation deaths and distress suicide by farmers and also for depriving the hungry masses of foodgrains, selling six crore tonnes of foodgrains in the international market.

The All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government was "autocratic" and remained "callous" to the problems of the people, he said.
