Third front looking forward to LDF victory

By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, APRIL 22. The recently constituted Third Front to fight against the Congress and the BJP was looking forward to the LDF victory in the forthcoming assembly elections in Kerala, according to the CPI(M) Politburo member, Mr. Sitaram Yechuri.

Speaking at a campaign meeting of the LDF candidate in Thiruvananthapuram North Assembly constituency, Mr. M. Vijayakumar, at Peroorkada junction today, Mr. Yechuri said the country was also looking forward for the victory of the LDF in Kerala.

The UDF has sought support from the BJP and the PDP at the same time to come to power in the State. The UDF has joined hands with Hindu communalists and Muslim fanatics to ensure that the LDF did not return to power in the State, he added.

The CPI(M) Politburo member alleged that the BJP, which was extending support to the Congress in the forthcoming Assembly elections, is playing hide and seek at the Centre.

Mr. Yechuri said the BJP and the Congress were not ready to discuss the issues concerning the people at the Parliament. The Railway Budget was passed in the Lok Sabha for the first time without any discussion, he added.

The Mayor, Mrs. J. Chandra, presided over the function. The CPI(M) candidate, Mr. Vijayakumar and the CPI leader, Mr. Kaniyapuram Ramachandran, were among those who attended.

Later, Mr. Yechuri addressed election meetings at Kattakada, Balaramapuram and Poovar for the election meetings. Photo on Page 4.
