Bathinda: Even while negotiating with the Political Front of the Farmers Sanyukt Samaj Morcha (SSM) for the number of seats for the contest in the election of the Punjab, the Indian Communist Party (CPI) on Monday stated the name of 15 candidates.
However, the party claims that it is still not broken bond with SSM, even because it has made a repetitive attack on it.
The CPI has accused several SSM leaders who made unilaterally decisions, pushing the left troops to the corner.
“Apart from all this, occurring by the larger cause of maintaining the unity of the strength of the struggle, we have the view that if the SSM leaves a lot of seats to the CPI to oppose its own symbol, then we can remain with SSM.
However, if the offer is not accepted, the CPI will compete independently .
The party is ready to wait until the nomination archiving is not finished, “said Secretary of the State CPI Bant Singh Brar in Bathinda on Monday.
Previously, Brar, was accompanied by a member of the National Board of Hardev Arshi and Nirmal Singh Dhaliwal, released a list of 15 candidates and said that almost half of a dozen candidates would be announced soon if they talked to SSM.
Some of the names announced can be withdrawn if the talks are successful, they add.
Brar and Arshi said when SSM decided to oppose the election, it was decided that nine tickets would be given to the CPI but SSM only gave us six seats and did not provide concrete answers about the rest of the chair.
“When we told the SSM leaders that the CPI would oppose its own symbol and they could enter the alliance with us by giving 9-10 seats, on their tie line with the Sanyukt Samaj party formed by Haryana’s Singh Charuni Gurname.
SSM Responding positively, but we still want to wait a few more days before the last call.
“They say if the SSM will not come then they will try to fake unity in the left candidate and not a field against CPIM and CPI liberation (ML).
The source said that the CPI, despite talking about ideological differences with some SSM constituents and demanding objections to the rewarding of several candidates including Lakha Sidhana, wanting to get support from SSM so that it can collect more sound.
