INDIAN Communists ruled out a political alliance with the secular opposition Congress Party during their annual congress at the weekend.
Communist Party of India – Marxist (CPI-M) political committee member Brinda Karat said the party would continue to work with regional secular groupings on mutually agreed issues but there would be “absolutely no political alliance with the Congress Party.”
The CPI-M underlined its commitment to avoid alliances with parties of the “ruling class” on the grounds that they would weaken struggles to build a political alternative.
Ms Karat said Congress “is a party of the ruling classes and represents corporate interests.”
