Thrissur : Evading any direct comment on the SNC Lavalin issue in which CPI-M Kerala unit secretary Pinarayi Vijayan figured prominently, CPI General Secretary, AB Bardhan today said it was a matter to be sorted out by the CPI-M in Kerala.
Since Chief Minister V S Achuthandan had stated that he would act by the Constitution, let him first clarify what he
actually meant when he said that, Bardhan said to questions from reporters on the issue.
'As an investigating agency, CBI was known for conducting impartial probes in cases referred to it. However, there were instances of it yielding to pressures from those in power,' he said.
Exuding confidence that a non-Congress non-BJP alternative would come to power after the next Lok Sabha polls, he said BJP's performance was going to be 'miserable' and Congress would not be the gainer.
Bardhan said that he had met AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa yesterday at Chennai and held discussions on broadening the
alternative front in Tamil Nadu. He said that the arrangements with TDP in Andhra Pradesh had been finalised and efforts for further broadening the front was progressing.
To a query, Bardhan said that suspension of Lok Sabha Speaker Somanath Chatterjee from CPI(M) would not make much
impact in the elections. In the prevailing political situation in West Bengal, the Left Front might lose two or three Lok Sabha seats, he said.
