Cong. will lose if it aligns with BJP: Nayanar

By Our Staff Reporter

BHUBANESWAR, JAN. 20. The Kerala Chief Minister and CPI(M) leader, Mr. E.K. Nayanar, today said that the Congress would stand to lose if it decided to go with the BJP in the Assembly polls in his State later this year.

Addressing presspersons here, Mr. Nayanar said the main weakness of the Congress in Kerala was that it never opposed the BJP bitterly and even had an understanding with the latter in some pockets during the last municipal polls.

He said he was confident of the Left Democratic Front's victory in the coming polls. Both the Congress-led United Democratic Front and the BJP would bite the dust and the LDF would return to power for the sixth term, he said.

Mr. Nayanar, who is here to attend the CPI(M) central committee meeting, said that the people in Kerala would vote for the LDF as it had provided a corruption-free Government. Moreover, there had been no communal clashes in the past four-and-half years.
