Vijayawada, June 19 : CPI National Secretary D Raja on Tuesday said that simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and all Assemblies are not possible in the democratic federal country where diversified political situation is prevailing.
Addressing a press conference here, he opined that there should be national consensus among all parties on one nation and one election and at present, it is not possible in the diversified political system.
‘Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to impose their own agenda. The BJP wants to make many amendments in the Constitution but it will have far reaching implications,’ he said.
Mr Raja said several democratic and Left forces have to reach a common understanding on various issues at the national level.
Replying to question on how the CPI is going to unite all opposition parties, he said that Loktantrik Janta Dal (LJD) patron Sharad Yadav organised meetings and conventions on the issue and hoped that the efforts were taking a realistic approach.
He said that the CPI urged all secular and democratic forces to come to a single platform to resist the RSS-BJP led communal forces.
Mr Raja said that the CPI will reach out to the people from August 1 to 14 by organsing various programmes in protest against the Modi led Union government. The CPI would also organise nation-wide agitations during September and October, opposing the BJP’s led government’s agenda of revising Indian Constitution.
CPI state Secretary K Rama Krishna said that the CPI and CPI(M) are holding a joint convention on June 20 here to evolve future course of strategy to resist the BJP led Centre’s ‘anti-people’ policies in which all Left parties would participate.
Mr Rama Krishna said that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had announced that he would demand Special Category Status (SCS) for the state at the NITI Aayog meeting, but he seemed happy just holding the left hand of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
