Left asked to fight fascist forces

By Our Staff Correspondent

PATNA NOV. 25. The CPI-ML(Liberation) general secretary, Deepankar Bhattacharya, today called upon the Left parties to form a federation to fight the fascist forces in the country.

Inaugurating the seventh party congress here, he said it would be a blunder if the Left parties failed to unite and provide a third alternative. to the people suffering at the hands of the BJP and the Congress.

He offered to work with the Left parties on the basis of a common minimum programme.

Mr. Bhattacharya regretted that the Congress too had little to offer falling back on those who had once served the BJP. The implication of using people such as S.S. Waghela in Gujarat was that the Congress merely legitimised the Sangh Parivar's agenda.

He said the efforts to put up a third alternative by parties such as the RJD, Samajwadi Party and the BSP, during the past decade, had gone abegging leaving the people with no choice but to choose between the BJP and the Congress.
