Play a key Role in Coalition politics
Yechury is credited with his efforts in coalitions, specifically during the formation of a UPA government when Manmohan Singh became Prime Minister in 2004. He has also gained prominence through my earlier work in composing the common minimum programme for a United Front government way back in 1996 along with P. Chidambaram, something that helped bridge some differences between Left and progressive forces at one stage but donned off experience showing its real teeth! He continued to criticise the policies of Union government.
