The efforts for launching an alternative political alliance to UPA and NDA by Left parties finally yield success with formation of Third Front today. Eleven political parties-The four left parties, JD (U), JD(S), ASGP, BJ (D), SP, AIADMK have joined hands to form the Third Front.

Later, CPI-M leader Prakash Karat speaking to media said that Third Front is formed to provide an alternative to BJP and Congress parties which are corrupted. “We will fight out both these parties in the upcoming elections. We oppose Congress because of its corrupt practices and inefficiency. We are opposing BJP for its communal elements. Both these parties are mishandling the country. So, we have united under Third Front to provide a democratic, secular, federal government.”

Bihar CM and RJ (D) leader replaying to a media question said “We will decide our Prime Ministerial candidate after the general elections.”

There are half a dozen aspirants for Prime Minister Post in the Third Front. So, it would be disastrous to think about this point as this stage. Out of the 11 political parties except CPI and CPM all are regional parties. So, these regional parties are quite confident to grab lion share of MP seats in their respective states. If they remain unite even after elections under Third Front umbrella, they may play spoilsport for Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, who want to become Prime Ministers after the elections.
