Jalandhar, April 16 The state units of the CPM, CPI (ML) and CPI (ML) Liberation have decided to support candidates of the Aam Aadmi Party on four seats which these parties are not contesting.
CPM's state unit secretary Mangat Ram Pasla said the decision was taken to ensure strengthening of the sentiment against the Akali-BJP and Congress candidates.
The CPM and its allies in Punjab would support AAP candidates in Patiala (Dr Dharmavir Gandhi), Faridkot (Prof Sadhu Singh), Ferozepur (Satnam Paul Kamboj) and Hoshiarpur (Yamini Gohar).
Pasla said: "The voters are disillusioned with the Congress-led UPA in the Centre and the SAD-BJP coalition in the state. They want alternatives for both the options. Our aim is to back candidates who are opposed to these corrupt parties. AAP is a plausible alternative in the scenario."
"We had initially approached AAP for a coalition, but the latter preferred to go it alone. We will not support AAP candidates in other constituencies,” he added.
