We don’t expect BJP govt. to be generous to T.N.: Balakrishnan

The Hindu  

CPI State secretary K. Balakrishnan on Monday described as “unconstitutional and anti-democratic” the argument that the landslide victory of the DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu would not serve any purpose since the NDA had swept the poll in other parts to form the government at the Centre. Mr. Balakrishnan said he did not believe that the BJP government, headed by Narendra Modi, would be generous and accord priority to the States that had voted against the BJP. In West Bengal, the Opposition was not able to create a strong front to take on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and people would have come to the conclusion that the BJP alone could bring in a change,” he said. Mr. Balakrishnan said mobilisation of voters on the plank of Hindu nationalism, the anti-Pakistan narratives and the attacks in Pulwama had worked in favour of the BJP.
