New Delhi Hitting back at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for describing them as "regressive", the Left parties said that they had negated all the "anti-people" policies of the Congress-led government which heightened the burden on the people and compromised national sovereignty.

"This is the Prime Minister who went on record expressing his deep love for (former US President) George Bush. The Congress party should have included this in their election manifesto," CPM General Secretary Prakash Karat told reporters in New Delhi.

Releasing the Left parties' appeal to the people, he said the Manmohan Singh government acted on the basis of "the agenda of the Indo-US CEO Forum".

This was an outcome of the strategic alliance with the US and there was "pressure to change the course of independent foreign policy, the military cooperation agreement, the nuclear deal and the US-dictated economic agenda".

All this taken together was "a negation of the Common Minimum Programme of the UPA government", Karat said.

"Yes, we negated all the harmful things the Congress – led government wanted to do. We negatived all their wrong policies. That is what the Prime Minister is acknowledging today," CPI General Secretary A B Bardhan said, giving examples of dilution of equity of PSUs, privatising bank and insurance sectors and investing pension funds in the stock market.

Commie characters by Hero Vaz on 25 Mar 2009

Did the Commie humbugs and hypocrites quit the UPA camp because they had nothing more to negate? God save India from such characters.

ask no questions and u ill be told no lies by Ganesh on 24 Mar 2009

To avoid accidents,the best policy is never to get on to the road.THis is the way Communists work.They dont do anything nor let others do anything.Then claim that they are not involved in any wrong doing.They prevented UPA from doing anything. Finally they bowed out fearing that UPA might do something and Communists also get the bad name for it.
