New Delhi: The CPI (Communist Party of India), an outside supporter of ruling UPA (United Progressive Alliance) at the Centre, today (Nov 4, 2004) said the re-election of George W Bush as US President would not have "positive impact" on Indo-US relations and asked the Manmohan Singh Government to pursue an independent foreign policy.

Bush's re-election was "not going to have any positive impact on the Indo-US relations", the CPI central secretariat said in a statement and asked the Government to pursue "an independent foreign policy based on anti-imperialism, non-alignment and peace" instead of "nurturing any illusion about US with regard to outsourcing or any other issue".

The party said the election "exposed" the "bourgeois democracy and the two-party system in the US where "the people of United States really did not have any choice worthy of mention in a democracy."
