People politically mature to choose own PM: CPI

The CPI today said that the people of India were politically mature to choose their prime minister and would not accept 'interference' by the US.
"Political maturity is there in India and the awareness of the people is immense. They can choose their own prime minister," CPI General Secretary S Sudharkar Reddy said referring to American lawmakers and businessmen meeting Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi last month and inviting him to the US.
"The people know everything and won't accept any type of interference of America or any other country," Reddy told reporters in a press conference here.
Slamming Modi for 'communal' politics and for supporting the 'corporate sector', Reddy hoped that there would be an alternative dispensation after the next general elections.

"We will not project any prime ministerial candidate as our aim is to build an alternative front, having pro-people and pro-worker polices. Those interested can join hands to give a new political direction in the country," he said.
Asked who could be the prime ministerial candidate of the alternative front, he replied "Anyone can be a potential PM candidate like Mulayam Singh Yadav, Nitish Kumar, Jayalalitha. But we will wait to elect a PM only after the elections.
