The CPI(M) will not be part of any electoral alliance involving the Congress though it will continue to be associated with JD(U) rebel Sharad Yadav’s ‘save composite culture’ campaign, joined by opposition parties including the Congress, the Left party said today.
CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury said his party will attend meetings aimed at “protecting the composite culture for a larger cause”, but added that it will not take part in any rally of the “mahagathbandhan” (grand alliance) with the Congress in the future too.
Yechury made the comment two days after the Left party skipped the RJD’s ‘BJP Bhagao, Desh Bachao’ (Banish BJP, Save Country) rally in Patna, attended by several key opposition leaders.
The CPI(M) leader said that the composite culture movement is not to be confused with ‘mahagathbandhan’ as the former has “got nothing to do with electoral alliance”.
