"Massive amounts were spent by the corporates in the entire poll campaign to install a more pro-corporate government. From the beginning, they had made their preference clear. Modi was their obvious choice for his pro-corporate record as a Chief Minister," party General Secretary S Sudhakar Reddy told a press conference here.
"Power has passed on to a combination of corporate, right-wing ideology and rabid communalism. On the basis of the experience of the first three weeks of the (Modi) government, the party apprehend that attempts are on to concentrate all powers in the hands of an individual that may ultimately subvert parliamentary democratic set up," he said.
"It is also heaping new burden on the people by raising rail fare, price of diesel, milk and gas," Reddy said.
Alleging that the corporates had funded the Congress too, he said "regional parties were also liberally financed so that they do not tie-up with the Left (for a non-Congress, non-BJP front). The corporate sector targetted the Left parties to isolate and marginalise them."
He also said that the RSS "took over the command of BJP's campaign directly" and deployed its workers to "inject communal poison" to polarise the electorate.
