Brinda Karat in her speech said people of Gujarat had shown in the BJPs strongest base that they were by no means invincible. If there had been a credible policy based alternative they could have been defeated. She congratulated the Party in Jamtara for their militant land struggles and said In Jharkhand you are uniting the people, the Jan gatbandhan, against the BJP- RSS offensive, that is the guarantee for their defeat."
