The CPI-ML has decided to support Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Arvind Kejriwal who is contesting the Lok sabha polls against BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.
"Our party would extend support to AAP's Kejriwal in Varanasi against Modi," CPI-ML general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya said Friday.
