The CPI state secretary Narayana has said that the suspension of the Congress MPs from Lok Sabha was a pre-planned one. The suspension of MPs from own party was made to fool the public and resort to vote bank politics in by-polls that are round the corner, he said. Further, Narayana has stressed on the need to obstruct the wealth show of YSR Congress and Congress parties in the by-polls. He has explained that CPI teamed up with TDP in order to put a check to the corruption.

Elucidating the distance with CPM, Narayana has said that the CPI and CPM are maintaining distance only because of the difference of opinion related to the party policies. He has cleared that the alliances would be based on the future prospects of the party. (Phani)
