Left preparing “charge sheet”

New Delhi: Left parties are preparing a “charge sheet” against the government detailing its “unkept promises” and “obsession” with the nuclear deal.

The CPI(M), CPI, RSP and Forward Bloc will come out with a “charge sheet” citing the UPA’s several drawbacks and failures, including “rising prices and inflation, surrendering of national interest, and unkept promises with regard to the CMP”, a senior Left leader said.

Feeling “hurt” by the Samajwadi Party’s “betrayal”, the Left parties will also “expose the marriage of convenience” between the Congress and the SP in its campaign, said the leader on condition of anonymity. PTI
