CPI(M), CPI deplore JD(S) U-turn in Karnataka

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Communist Party of India have deplored the Janata Dal (Secular) U-turn in Karnataka to help install the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in power.

Describing the coming together of the JD(S) and BJP again in Karnataka to stake the claim to form the government as a “sordid spectacle,” the CPI(M) said there was nothing to be gained from such an exercise. “The only sensible and democratic way out is for the State to have fresh elections and a new mandate from the people,” the Polit Bureau of the CPI (M) said in a statement here on Sunday.

“The rank opportunism of the Janata Dal (Secular) leadership and the unprincipled lust for power of the BJP have betrayed the aspirations of the people of Karnataka,” it said.

Describing the latest political development in Karnataka involving the JD(S) and the BJP as a “serious and unfortunate development,” the CPI said it had for the first time opened the door for the BJP to get a foothold in the southern States.
