CPM welcomes AAP for raising corruption, inqulaities issues

New Delhi: The CPI(M) on Wednesday welcomed the Aam Aadmi Party’s move to raise issues of corruption and inequality, saying the political party led by Arvind Kejriwal needs to bring more clarity on some more issues.
Replying to questions on AAP, senior CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechury also said it was up to Kejriwal’s party to decide whether it would join the Left and other secular forces but it could be decided only after the elections.
Yechury, who released two campaign booklets titled ‘The Two India Reality: Obscene Wealth, Grinding Poverty’ and ‘To Build a Corruption Free India’, said the fight against corruption does not end at setting up of an independent Lokpal.

“While strict laws are needed to fight graft, the struggle to reverse the policies which have allowed corporate a free run to loot the resources of our country must be strengthened,” he said.

Asked whether CPI (M) would join a government of the Left and regional parties if such a combination came to power, Yechury said a decision would be taken by the party’s Central Committee after the elections.

Maintaining that both BJP and Congress were “committed to strengthening the neo-liberal framework of policies”, he said the economic inequalities have led to “two Indias – shining India and suffering India”.
