The Left parties have sought a meeting of the UPA-Left coordination committee after the Assembly polls to sort out differences over economic and foreign policies, senior CPI(M) leader Jyoti Basu said today. | |
| "We have sent a message that we should meet and talk seriously about the differences. We will speak clearly where we agree and where we disagree," he said. |
| |
| The Left does not want to be pushed into a position where the differences cause the government to fall, Basu said. |
| |
| "In any case, if we leave them, there will be elections and the BJP will come to power. We do not want that," he added. |
| |
| "They are dependent on us and we on them. We do not want a communal party like the BJP to lead a government at the Centre," he said. |
| |
| Charging the UPA government with violating the common minimum programme, Basu said it was following "pro-US" foreign and economic policies. |
