The condition of Manmohan Singh government is "not good," Bhattacharjee alleged at a party worker's meet here, and said, "His (PM's) boat is taking in water and will sink."
"The Congress has to go. But BJP is not an alternative as it also has the same pro-capitalist and pro-rich policy as the Congress. BJP also supports Hindu-Muslim divide," he alleged.
"So we have to find another alternative. We, the Left, are talking of an alternative which will have consensus on policy issues," the former chief minister of West Bengal said.
"He (PM) is surviving, but is not in good shape and the situation has become such owing to his following the path of capitalism. He has lost his way," Bhattacharjee claimed.
Alleging the Prime Minister was following the 'trickle down theory' where wealth moves down from the rich to the poor, he said "Such things do not happen in reality and the money goes to Swiss banks and not to the poor."
"The Congress government has created 54 of the richest people in the world while the country still has the highest number of poor and ill-fed people of the world," he said.
"This government is mired in scams -- from 2G to Coalgate. Its efforts to benefit the capitalists has led to these scams," the CPI-M leader claimed.
