CPI Hails KCR's Meet With Nitish Kumar In Bihar

CPI national secretary Dr K Narayana today welcomed the meeting of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao with the latter's Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar, and termed the meeting a good sign for Indian politics.

Chada Venkat Reddy said that the CPI had extended support to the ruling TRS for the upcoming by-election in the Munugodu Assembly constituency in order defeat the BJP. He said that the CPI would continue to expose the "anti-people policies" of the BJP in the State and across the country.
