New Delhi, September 3: CPI-M today said there was a `grave' political crisis in the NDA which has affected all its partners with some of them thinking of parting ways.
"There is not only a crisis within the BJP, but a grave crisis is facing the NDA. Some of the partners are thinking of coming out. In this kind of a situation, the spread of the party is essential to fill the vacuum," CPI-M polit bureau member Sitaram Yechury told reporters on the second day of the three-day meeting of the central committee.
He said a resolution on the prevailing political situation in the country, adopted by the polit bureau yesterday, was being discussed by the central committee.
Yechury said the NDA was not able to play the role of opposition effectively, which had led the Left parties, supporting the UPA coalition from outside, taking the initiative in checking the government from pursuing any "anti- people" policy.
