CPM: AAP rise shows demand for third option

NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) spectacular win in Delhi proves that people are looking for "a viable alternative" to both Congress and BJP, the CPM said on Thursday.

"What the Delhi result shows is that where there is a viable alterna tive to the Congress and the BJP, the people will support it," the CPM's "People's Democracy" said in an editorial.

"It remains to be seen what political programme the AAP will formulate and how it will consolidate its support base," it added.

The BJP retained power in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh and snatched Rajasthan from the Congress.

The "unambiguous message" of the elections in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi "is the outright rejection of the Congress", the CPM publication said.
