NEW DELHI: The BJP on MOnday, thrashed CPI(M)'s moves to form a third alternative saying it was destined to fail as Indian politics has become bi-polar now and hit back at the Marxist party for dubbing it as its enemy number one.
Reacting angrily to the 'enemy number one' concept, BJP said it reflected the CPI(M)'s "Stalinist mindset", which is "patently anti-democratic, irrelevant and undesirable" in the interests of healthy democratic traditions.
BJP also came down heavily on the CPI(M)'s draft political resolution for its 19th Party Congress, saying it smacks of Marxist party's "political arrogance at its worst" despite being pushed to the margins of the country's political space.
"Over the last decades since independence, Indian politics has increasingly become bi-polar, a reality the CPI(M) and the Left Front parties have failed to either note or appreciate," party spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
BJP and the Congress are today the "two divergent poles" of Indian politics, he said and claimed the "ill-conceived" third front gameplan of the CPI(M) to prevent BJP from coming to power is destined to fail.
"After enjoying power without responsibility for four years, they are seeking to disown UPA and is talking about third front now as election nears. It is political hypocrisy at its worst," he alleged.

He dared the CPI(M) to withdraw support to the UPA if it feels that the government is not working in the interests of the people. "Disassociate yourself from the UPA, but you don't have the courage," he added. Download
