'More anti-people steps by Cong in coming days'

"The UPA government may have crossed the hurdle of trust vote, but the situation it created to win will lead to 'unrest' in the country, putting more burden on the common man and communal forces getting the opportunity to raise their heads," the party mouthpiece 'Ganashakti' said in an editorial here.     

The CPI-M, in close coordination with other Left parties, would continue its struggle against 'sinister designs' of the Congress to sell the nation to US imperialism, it said.     

 

Emphasizing that the Left parties were committed to safeguard the interests of the nation and the people, the daily said the Indo-US nuke deal would cause 'immense' harm to India's sovereign foreign policy' and claimed that the Leftists had brought the issues to the centrestage of national politics.     

Charging the UPA with violating the Common Minimum Programme, it said the Left parties had aptly taken the decision to withdraw support from the government considering the issues affecting the interests of the country.     

"Congress resorted to horse-trading, got the blessings of the corporate lobby, put in all efforts to keep opposition MPs absent on the day of trust vote and finally tainted itself with the charge of bribe offers to BJP members inside the Lok Sabha."     

The daily alleged that the Congress-led UPA government largely depended on money power to ensure its survival.
