NEW DELHI: In its efforts to mobilise parties against the UPA Government for the July 22 trust vote, the Left on thursday reached out to the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) but its chief Ajit Singh remained non-committal on the issue.
CPI General Secretary A B Bardhan drove to Singh's 12, Tughlak Road residence this morning to seek the support of the RLD and explained the Left stand on the Government during their meeting which lasted about an hour.
"I have apprised him about our (Left) position. He explained his stand...It is not easy (for the RLD) to take a decision," Bardhan told reporters after the meeting.
Singh said he heard the views of "experienced and old friend" Bardhan on the recent political developments and that he will discuss with party colleagues the issues raised by the top CPI leader before taking a decision.
