Why Opposition Doesn’t Need A 2019 Face, According To Sitaram Yechury

New Delhi : Newly elected CPM General Secretary Sitaram Yechury has told NDTV that the opposition does not necessarily need a face to take on Prime Minister Modi in the 2019 general elections. Overcoming internal differences within his own party, Mr Yechury has got the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to agree to an "understanding" with the Congress.

He says when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was defeated in the 2004 general election, there was no pre-election front even then.

"We have decided that our primary objective is to oust this BJP-RSS government. Talks about various fronts, alliances, issues will naturally come up in the run-up to the elections, but please remember what has been our
experience?" Mr Yechury said.
