But we need to struggle in opposition to the commercial insurance policies of the BJP government in addition to the insurance policies of previous UPA governments. The suicides of farmers right through the UPA rule because of their anti-farmer insurance policies can't be forgotten. The CPM can on no account align with Congress in this sort of state of affairs,” he mentioned.
