Congress must introspect on its political stance: Yechury

The Hindu  

Communist Party of India general secretary Sitaram Yechury has said the Left and the CPI have been the “most consistent opposition” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Addressing a Left Democratic Front election rally in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, the CPI leader urged the Congress and the United Democratic Front to introspect upon its political stance in combating communal forces. In an apparent response to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s “demand” to arrest Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Mr. Yechury said, “They are inviting Narendra Modi to harass and arrest the Chief Minister of Kerala. The Centre’s statistics itself have revealed that household savings have reached rock bottom of less than 5% of the Gross Domestic Product for the first time since Independence,” he added.
