The Hindu
He was not truthful to the party, says veteran Left leader
Minutes after , CPI general secretary D. Raja said the former JNU leader had expelled himself from the party and was not “truthful” with the CPI and not “straightforward”with the demands of the party.
“Kumar expelled himself from the party. He was not truthful to the party. The CPI existed long before Kanhaiya came into the party’s fold and will continue to exist after his exit,” Mr. Raja said. He also questioned Mr. Kumar's faith in the Left ideology. “He must be having personal as well as political ambitions and aspirations. It shows he has no faith in the Left ideology,” he said.
Mr. Kumar reportedly kept denying speculation about his joining the Congress to the CPI leadership. At the same time he refused to attend a press conference to refute the rumours.
