Maintaining that the Prime Minister will emerge from the regional parties, not from the BJP as predicted by the media , Communist Party of India (Marxist) State secretary P. Madhu on Monday exhorted the voters to reject the ''opportunistic'' YSR Congress and the Telugu Desam Party in the coming polls.
While the YSRC had taken an ''opportunistic'' stand to support the party that would come to power at the Centre, the TDP had struck a pre-poll alliance with the “communal” BJP with which it had promised to have no truck after its poll debacle in 2004, he said at a media conference here. The YSRC must declare that it would not have any tie-up with the BJP after the polls, he said.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Madhu took part in a road show here in support of G.V.Konda Reddy, the party nominee for Ongole Assembly seat and G. Kishore Kumar Reddy, Jai Samaikyandhra Party’s (JSP) nominee for Ongole Lok Sabha seat.
‘BJP stands no chance’“The BJP has no presence at all in 184 Lok Sabha constituencies in the country, hence it does not stand any chance to come to power at the Centre,” he opined, adding that it was the regional parties which, in unison, will win over 300 MP seats and the Prime Minister would emerge from these parties.
He expressed confidence that the CPI(M), which was contesting for two MP and 31 MLA seats in the State, would win a good number of seats. He wanted the Election Commission to take action against Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan for his ''highly objectionable'' remarks against the TRS president K. Chandrasekara Rao at an election rally. “The actor-turned-politician should realise that this type of remark may be permissible in reel life, not in real life,” he said. Addressing a series of road-side meetings, he sought people's support for the CPI(M) and JSP.
