Apart from seat sharing there is one more problem which is haunting MAHA KOOTAMI. That is regarding the manifesto for elections. As the two parties CPI and CPM do not rule out differences over separate Telangana with TRS and TDP.the term common manifesto could look distirted but leaders feel that these could be sorted out through discussions.“Where is the question of a common manifesto when every party has its own agenda? We have come together with a common goal of defeating the Congress and other issues will be sorted out accordingly,” CPI State secretary K. Narayana said. The CPI (M) too echoed similar views claiming that the Left parties never had a ‘joint agenda’ with their alliance partners in any State, but for West Bengal and Kerala where the Left front contests on a common manifesto.
This assumes significance in the light of TRS’ contention that “betrayal of Telangana by the Congress” should form an integral part of campaign for which the alliance partners should take an unambiguous stand on Telangana.Huh...do you feel that this problem wil ever be solvable.
