The CPI(ML) on Sunday blamed the CPI and CPI(M) for making alliances with BJD. Ignoring an attempt to create a Left alternative, both CPI and CPI(M) joined hands with the Third Front, which would not materialise, said CPI(ML) State secretary Kshitish Biswal while releasing his party’s poll manifesto for the ensuing General elections.
Parties, which have joined the Third Front, do not have a particular pre-poll agenda, he said, adding that they do lack good ideology and confidence to contest the election. If the BJD is claiming to be secular, why did it not dissociated from the BJP during the communal flare up in Kandhamal, he asked, adding that the 11-year alliance between both the communal parties broke down only due to the dispute of seat-sharing. Both the BJP and BJD are detrimental for development of the State, he said.
The party announced candidates for four parliamentary constituencies, Puri, Kendrapara, Koraput and Kalahandi, apart from 19 Assembly constituencies, said Biswal, adding that the names of seven more MLA candidates will be announced shortly, he added. Among others, party State committee member and former MLA Radhakanta Sethi, State committee members, Judhisthir Mohapatra and NK Mohanty were present.
