Kolkata, October 11 CPM Politburo member Sitaram Yechury has said that his party is ready for the Lok Sabha elections. Yechury, who arrived in Kolkata on Saturday to attend party’s central committee meeting, said that discussion will be held on Sunday’s meeting for forming the third alternative.

On the issue of Singur, he said the party will get success in rural areas. “We are ready for the polls. The alliance will be formed that will include non-communal and non-Congress parties,” Yechury said.

He said that in spite of the Congress party’s plan to highlight the Indo-US nuclear deal as a success story, the party will not gain any extra advantage during the polls.

The top leadership of the CPM is scheduled to discuss several crucial issues, including its strategy for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections during the three-day central committee meeting, party sources said.

The meeting would also finalise a document on the demands for restructuring Centre-State relations.

Senior party sources said the CPM suspects that the UPA government will try to hold the Lok Sabha elections in January or a little later.
