Chief Minister and TPCC president Revanth Reddy today sought the support of the CPI (M) for Congress candidates in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
CPI (M) leaders including State Secretary Thammineni Veerabhadram, Julakanti Ranga Reddy, Sitaramulu and Veeraiah called on the Chief Minister at his residence.
During the interaction, Revanth Reddy urged the Left party leaders to extend their support to the Congress in the Bhuvanagiri Lok Sabha constituency as well as in other constituencies in Telangana.
The CPM leaders are said to have accepted the CM's proposal and agreed to campaign in support of Congress candidates for the elections.
The Left leaders said that as their party was working with the INDIA bloc at the national level, they had decided to extend their support to the Congress in Telangana.
Revanth Reddy said that there was an ambiguity in the relationship with the CPM in one or two matters, but that he had full confidence that he could discuss those with his party leadership and come to a consensus soon.
On the occasion, CPM leader Veerabhadram urged the party's candidates who are contesting in the Lok Sabha elections to withdraw their nominations and to support the Congress.
