CPI-ML unleashes its "unity offensive" in support of Arvind Kejriwal in Varanasi

After supporting Prof. Anand Kumar of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi's elections, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) has unleashed its "unity offensive" in support of Arvind Kejriwal in Varanasi. CPI-ML's cadres would work in Varanasi to expose Modi's communal face and his corporate-centric development in Gujarat.
 
"Our party would extend support to AAP's Kejriwal in Varanasi against Modi," said Dipankar Bhattacharya, General Secretary, CPI-ML. Bhattacharya said that the  had decided to support Kejriwal to ensure the defeat of Modi from Varanasi.

Jawaharlal Nehru University Student Union (JNUSU) is also reaching Varanasi to galvanize non-BJP, non-Congress votes in favour of AAP.

Meanwhile, ninety years old, veteran journalist  Kuldeep Nayar expressed his outrage and anger when he was informed about the rumour being spread by a website saying "Kuldeep Nayar joins Arun Jaitley’s campaign". He  disapproved of this misleading story dated April 19, 2014.

A representative of Citizens Forum for Civil Liberties (CFCL) spoke to him today at 12.50 PM in this regard. Mr Nayar said, " I have always written against them. This shows how low they can stoop.  This is shameful." He is currently in Delhi at his residence. He wanted a statement to be issued informing the public at large and media about this misinformation campaign by supporters of BJP.

Mr Nayar is also the author of 15 books, including "Beyond the Lines”, "Distant Neighbours: A Tale of the Subcontinent”, "The Martyr : Bhagat Singh Experiments in Revolution", "Suppression of judges", "Without Fear: The Life and Trial of Bhagat Singh" and others.

Mr Nayar is also a human right activist who has formerly been High Commissioner to Great Britain and a MP.
