Senior CPI leader D Raja Thursday lauded DMK leader M K Stalin for steering the Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) to a remarkable show in the Lok Sabha polls, saying it was possible due to the latter's foresight.
He called up Stalin and had a convesation in this regard, the CPI National Secretary told PTI.
Raja said he congratulated the DMK chief and extended good wishes for Stalin's future.
"It was because of his foresight and accommodating all allies reasonably, that the DMK combine could win the confidence of the people and win their votes," he said.
Raja said he extended his good wishs to Stalin as the DMK chief was going shoulder more responsibility in the future.
The DMK-led SPA was virtually on the verge of a sweep in Tamil Nadu, with the ruling AIADMK leading in just one of the 38 Lok Sabha seats.
