Replying to a separate question, he termed the party's drubbing in Rajasthan Assembly polls as disappointing.
The CPI-M had won three Assembly seats in Rajasthan last time, but lost all of them in the this year's election.
"We lost all seats in Rajasthan which is disappointing, but there is no reason to believe that we lost our base there," Karat added.
