MAKING A POINT: President of National Congress(Indira) K. Muraleedharan rules out truck with BJP.
KOLLAM: President of National Congress(Indira) K. Muraleedharan hinted that his party is interested in becoming a constituent of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the coming local body elections. He was talking to reporters when he arrived here on Sunday to launch the membership distribution of NC(I) in the district. Mr. Muraleedharan categorically said that his party would not have any truck with either the United Democratic front (UDF) or the front led by the BJP. While Mr. Muraleedharan was critical of the UDF and the BJP, he was conspicuously silent about the LDF. The meeting held recently with the Nationalist Congress Party leader Sulaiman Rawther and the Congress(S) leader Kadannapally Ramachandran did not have any political connotations, he said. ``An understanding has been reached with the Kerala Congress led by T.M. Jacob," he said. The party had shared platform with the Kerala Congress(B) leader R. Balakrishna Pillai and the RSP(B) leader A.V. Thamarakshan at Azhikode during the recent by-election. On the issue of resignation of MLAs supporting NC(I), Mr. Muraleedharan said that it would be taken up in the next session of the Assembly. "It will be ensured that the MLAs supporting the party will not be placed in a position to support and vote in favour of the UDF," he said. All State Government departments had come under the control of outside forces. The UDF was in its last phase of rule over the State and the feeling that power would soon slip away from them had left it panicky, he said. The Government has resorted to a recruitment spree with the aim of making money through taking bribe, he said. The same was the aim behind the spate of wanton transfers resorted to of late, he said. He called for a probe into the dropping of 24 lakh people from the voters' list. It could cast aspersions on the Election Commission, he said. District president of the party K. Karunakaran Pillai and Kollam constituency unit president Anzar Rahim were present at the press conference.
