A few days ago, Karat had said that the Left would continue its fight against the anti-people policies of the Centre and communalism. He had said the party would try to unit non-Congress and non-BJP parties in these two issues.

After Bharatiya Janata Party patriarch LK Advani and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, CPM general secretary Prakash Karat had admitted that his party needs to learn from Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party.



In an interview to a news channel, Karat said the Left needs to learn from AAP on how to communicate to the youth using social media platforms.



Karat said, "The fact that they have been able to take on the main parties like the Congress and the BJP in Delhi shows that there is scope for alternative politics."



Indicating that his own party shares a common thread with AAP in ideology, Karat said, "I met Kejriwal sometime back when he was opposing the privatisation of the Delhi Jal Board. It's good that he is talking about policies. We are closely watching their policies and if they emerge as serious political alternative."

Karat has maintained that his party would try to go for an understanding with like-minded parties in various states during the Lok Sabha polls.



It is to be noted that he met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav a few days ago to draw his attention towards the plight of the riot victims languishing in relief camps in Muzaffarnagar and Shamli.
