June 13: The CPM politburo member, Mr Sitaram Yechury, on Monday dropped indications of a possible merger of his party and the CPI. The senior CPM leader, however, said that the process would take some time.
Both the parties want to take up the unification programme from the grassroots level, rather than from the top. He was participating in a “meet the press” programme organised by the AP Union of Working Journalists here. Mr Yechury said that though the merger of the two major Left parties was desirable, they had to follow certain procedures before the unification. “One way of doing it is through the unification of various mass organisations and joint activities at the lower level, which will percolate to the top,” he said.
