KANNUR: The primary mission is to bring down the Modi government and a grand alliance before that is impractical said CPM Polit Bureau member Prakash Karat.

“The only way to keep the BJP government from ruling again is by strengthening the anti-BJP emotion in all states. I hope that those who stand together against the BJP government before the election would maintain that even after elections”, Karat said.

“The Congress has to show more courage to take on the BJP. The soft approach towards right-wing forces is a threat to secularism. It has to be doubted whether the Congress party follows BJP policy at some states”, Karat added.
