New Delhi: CPIM General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Monday condemned the recent political developments taking place in Madhya Pradesh and accused the BJP of indulging in horse trading to topple the Kamal Nath led Congress government.

Yechury accuses BJP of horse-trading

"This sort of poaching on opposition party's or ruling party's MLAs and MPs in order to reverse the people's mandate in elections which the BJP is doing is completely anti democratic. They have reduced politics and legislatures to commodities in the market which can be bought and sold and that degradation of our democratic system is something very very dangerous for the country," said Sitaram Yechury.

We have seen this happen recently in Karnataka where BJP indulged into this sort of horse trading, now we see this happening in Madhya Pradesh. Whatever may be the reasons, whatever may be the discontent among a section of the legislatures of a particular party but this sort of a horse trading and brazenly buying them up to reverse the people's mandate is completely anti democratic. We condemn it completely" he added.

The call for floor test by Governor Lalji Tandon could ultimately not happen today and the BJP moved to the supreme court demanding intervention.
CPIM leader also commented on these developments and took a jibe at turncoat leaders.

"Test of majority can only happen on the floor of the house and that will have to be undertaken on the floor of the house but if people succumb to opportunism, lure of money, lure of positions or to save themselves from the acts of omission and commission that they have committed in the past, they keep moving from one party to another. This is very very unacceptable," said the CPIM leader.
