Get it right -- CPM backs Pranab not Cong: Yechuri

July 06, 2012 17:46

Senior CPM leader and politburo member Sitaram Yechuri gets the facts straight. Today he said that his party's support to Pranab Mukherjee as the presidential candidate did not mean support to the Congress.

"Our support is to Pranab-da...our support is not to Congress," Yechuri, who is here to attend a meeting of CPM office-bearers from Maharashtra, said. The UPA government had failed on all fronts, he alleged while talking to reporters before the meeting. Yechuri addressed the session of the three-day state level meeting that started today.
