Left parties would try to corner
the government by raising issues like price rise, growing
unemployment and corruption scandals in the winter session of
Parliament.

Left sources said their leaders have already submitted an
adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha to raise a discussion on
price rise to attack the government.

Exuding confidence that other opposition parties would
also join them in raising the demand for discussion on rising
inflationary graph, they said CPI(M), CPI, Forward Bloc and
RSP planned to corner the Congress-led coalition by raking up
the issue of hike in prices of essential commodities – ranging from onions to salt, besides petroleum products.

Another crucial item on the Left agenda is the report of
the Joint Parliamentary Committee on 2G spectrum scam, which,
these parties claim, was incomplete. By refusing to call Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister P Chidambaram for questioning in connection with the probe, JPC chairman P C Chacko had omitted a crucial aspect of the inquiry into the 2G scam, the Left parties have maintained.

They are also likely to join other opposition parties in
raising corruption scandals like the CWG and coal scams, the
sources said.

The Left parties would also seek a discussion on the
ongoing Bali meeting of the WTO on food security issue, saying the interests of Indian farmers should not be compromised to benefit developed countries under any circumstances.
