VS Effect Helped Party, Says Prakash Karat

Monday, May 16, 2011: Party general secretary Prakash Karat today said VS factor helped the CPM a lot in the assembly polls. Addressing a press meet after the politburo meet, he said VS Achuthanandan was able to bring the people closer to the Front.

There is nothing wrong in printing posters with VS pictures during electioneering. His picture was used as he was popular among the public. Jyoti Basu’s picture was used in West Bengal. He said my picture cannot be used as I was not in the fray.

The defeat of some winning seats will be analysed. The poll results indicate that the people of Kerala were satisfied with the administration of the Left Government. In reply to a question, he said there is nothing unnatural in former chief minister of West Bengal Buddhadeb Bhattacharya not attending the meet. He will continue in the politburo.

The people have voted for change and all efforts will be taken to wrest back power in both the states, he said.
