Kolkata, May 09: Regional parties would play an
important role in formation of a Third Front government at the
Centre after the Lok Sabha elections, CPI(M) General Secretary
Prakash Karat claimed on Saturday.
He said these parties should not be
underestimated as they "are support-based and they fulfil the
aspirations of the people. We are talking to them. These
parties have an important role to play in government
formation."
He also said that during the election it was not
possible to work out common policies with regional parties.
"After the elections, we will formulate these policies."
Speaking about the prospects of a Third Front
government coming to power, Karat said "I am 100 percent
confident. We are talking with different political parties.
"Many people were not believing that the Third Front
will come into being before the Lok Sabha polls. Now, it is
clear that the Third Front is a reality. The Third way is
possible," he said.
