Comrades share dais with UNPA leaders

Left leaders have participated in a protest rally organised by the UNPA to protest against the Manmohan Singh government's apathy towards the farmers' cause.

NEW DELHI: The going seems to be getting tougher for the Manmohan Singh government. The Left, which has made it clear that the UPA government could press ahead with the Indo-US nuclear deal at its own peril, on Wednesday joined hands with its ideological rivals, the RSS-backed Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh and former defence minister George Fernandes in criticising the Centre���s anti-worker policies.

CPM polit bureau member and Citu leader M K Pandhe attended a rally organised by the BMS here on Wednesday in protest against the anti-workers��� policies of the UPA government.

And in yet another move that does not augur well for the ruling coalition���s longevity plans, another senior CPM polit bureau member Sitaram Yechury shared the dais with Mr Fernandes at a function organised by the Navodaya Vidyalaya Staff Association to press for a better pay-structure, pension and gratuity. Interestingly, there was no representation from the Congress in this programme.

It was only on Tuesday that the Left leaders had participated in a protest rally organised by the UNPA to protest against the Manmohan Singh government���s apathy towards the farmers��� cause.
