Boycott polls, says CPI-ML
Bangalore: CPI-ML today appealed voters to boycott the assembly elections in Karnataka, terming it as a “dirty politics for power” played by political parties.
Congress and BJP are two faces of a coin and Janata Dal (Secular) is a party of father and sons, CPI-ML said in a press release issued here on Friday.
These political parties instead of improving the living conditions of people have been engaged in promising freebies like rice and colour television to get votes, the party has alleged.
