CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury campaigned extensively in Seemandhra region for the third day today. Addressing an impressive gathering in in Mangalagiri town of Guntur district along with CPI(M) Assembly candidate he said no one who aspired to become Prime Minister before the elections had actually become the Prime Minister. All the Prime Ministers who assumed office, especially in the coalition era, were chosen, post-elections. He took pot shots at BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for contesting from two seats. "If he was so confident of becoming Prime Minister then why his he contesting from two seats?" he asked rhetorically.
Yechury asserted that a non-Congress, non-BJP alternative government can be formed post poll and there are more chances of that. At a meet the press programme organised by AP Union of Working Journalists in Vijayawada, Yechury attacked Telugu Desam chief Chandrababu Naidu for aligning with BJP. He reminded that it was Chandrababu himself who had stated in the past that he had to remain away from power for 10 years because of aligning with BJP. Yechury felt that similar fate awaits Babu once again.
Answering a question, Yechury said that it was unfortunate that CPI had chosen to ally with Congress in Telangana. The CPI had in the past reviewed that its going with the Congress was a mistake. Then why is it committing the same mistake, he asked.
