CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury today accused the Trinamool Congress and the BJP of indulging in "competitive communalism" in order to reap political benefits through communal polarisation.
"In Bengal, the TMC and BJP are engaged in competitive communalism. The TMC is pursuing the politics of appeasement of minorities and the BJP is trying to fan majority communalism.
"In this way, both are helping each other to grow. Actually both the parties are hand in gloves with each other as their main enemy is the CPI(M) as they know the CPI(M) will never allow communal politics in the state," Yechury said at a programme here
Yechury, while accusing the TMC and BJP of having a "tacit understanding", said, "The most important proof of their tacit understanding is slowdown of Narada-Saradha probe."
He was referring to the Saradha chit fund scam and the Narada scam, in which several Trinamool Congress leaders were caught on camera accepting bribes in a sting operation conducted by news website 'Narada News'.
