He accused Congress of failing to curb the rise of communal forces in India.

"The Congress regime in the last 10 years has failed to curb corruption and communalism in the country," he said, asserting that only the Left can stop the rise of communalism and fundamentalism."

Karat alleged that time has come for Trinamool Congress to forge an alliance with BJP. Elaborating on his statement, he said, "TMC was with BJP from 1998 to 2001, when its chief Mamata Banerjee was the Railway Minister. She came out of the alliance. But after Modi became the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the party went back

to the NDA and held the Coal Ministry portfolio."

"In 2009 and 2011, the TMC forged an alliance with the Congress and so time has again come for the party to enter into an alliance with BJP and NDA," Karat predicted.
