Prakash Karat says Congress won by bribery and intimidation.
New Delhi: The CPI-M on Tuesday said the UPA Government’s victory in the trust vote was a "sad day" in democracy because it was accompanied by charges of bribery and horse trading.
"It is a sad day for Parliamentary democracy in India when all norms are sacrificed for a nuclear deal which is against the interest of the country," CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat told PTI minutes after the confidence vote in Lok Sabha.
He said the Congress may take satisfaction from the government winning the vote of confidence but the trust vote has been accompanied by reports of "bribery, intimidation and horse-trading".
"The CPI(M) will continue the struggle against the Indo-US nuclear deal and the Manmohan Singh government," he said.
