Ranchi: Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha today said veteran Marxist leader Jyoti Basu's recent statement favouring capitalism only exposed the duplicity of the CPI(M).
"Jyoti Babu's statement has exposed the party's double standard as it practised one thing in West Bengal and oppose the same at the Centre," Sinha told PTI here.
Referring to West Bengal Chief Minister, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's similar statement on Friday, Sinha wondered whether CPI(M) grassroot workers knew what their leaders were speaking in Kolkata.
He said the fissure in the Left Front would widen in the coming days as Forward Bloc and RSP would not toe CPI(M) line.
