'There has been a declaration of intent, but in terms of implementation, nothing has proceeded so far.'

The CPM leader, however, said the left parties had identified some of the root causes for the poor electoral performance in the April-May Lok Sabha elections.

'In West Bengal and Kerala, we have identified our weaknesses and are trying to overcome them. Within the party, we have taken up a rectification programme to try and rid ourselves of some of the alien tendencies, alien to our ideology that may have crept in,' Yechury said.

'The first issue is to get back to the people and regain the support of those who for some reasons have been alienated from us.'

On asked about his role in helping Nepal solve the Maoist problem, Yechury said he would extend all possible help to that country.

'We can help Nepal, but all decisions have to be taken by them. My advice to all sections concerned in Nepal is to work together in this phase of transition,' Yechury said.

Nepal Prime Minister Madhav Kumar recently sought Yechury's help in solving the Maoist problem.
