HYDERABAD: Making it clear that he was not an aspirant for the Prime Minister’s post, TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu today asserted that there was every possibility of the Third Front forming the next government at the Centre.
“I am confident that some of them (the parties having alliances with Congress and BJP) will come out to join the Third Front. Those who are with the BJP and the Congress have ‘political’ compulsions,” he remarked.
Talking to mediapersons at NTR Trust Bhavan here this morning, Naidu said some political parties such as the Nationalist Congress Party of Union Minister Sharad Pawar will join the Third Front to form an alternative government at the Centre.
“Already Navin Patnaik’s Biju Janata Dal is with us (Third Front). Today Sharad Pawar is participating in a rally organised by Navin Patnaik. It is a clear indication that we will all work together.
Already, the Left parties, TDP, AIADMK and BSP are in the Third Front. Some more will join in the near future,” he said.
The Congress party had already lost its hopes and was prepared to sit in the Opposition. The BJP, on the other hand, was unable to make any impact as yet.
“I will try my level best to ensure a Third Front government in Delhi,” he remarked. Asked about `internal differences’ in the Grand Alliance comprising TDP, TRS, CPI and CPM, Naidu claimed that everything had been sorted out.
Things were now happening as per the common agreement, he said. Polarisation had already started and people were attending Grand Alliance meetings irrespective of the party they belonged to in the alliance, he said. Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s meetings, on the other hand, were seeing low turnouts, he added. “There will be a onesided result in the State,” he noted.
