MA Baby, General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), has strongly rejected allegations from the Congress party that CPI(M) has formed a deal with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), labeling these claims as 'preposterous'. In a statement, Baby emphasized the need for decorum among opposition parties, particularly calling on Congress, as the main opposition in the Lok Sabha, to uphold unity within the INDIA bloc. He mentioned that CPI(M) had communicated concerns through a letter to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, stressing the importance of cooperation against the BJP, which he accused of being guided by the RSS. Baby affirmed that CPI(M) would continue to work with other opposition parties in Parliament to defend secularism and oppose the Union Government's policies. He warned that the ongoing allegations could undermine the unity of the INDIA bloc, especially ahead of a crucial meeting scheduled for June 8 in New Delhi, where leaders from various opposition parties will strategize following recent elections.
