Akhilesh-Mamata meet: The development is crucial as the emergence of the third front will give shape to the poll battle in 2024 and a divided Opposition will add electoral fortune to the ruling BJP.
There is a strong buzz that Akhilesh Yadav and Mamata Banerjee are likely to discuss a third front as both have so far maintianed a distance from Congress.
Telangana CM called on his Maharashtra counterpart Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai and later also met Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar. The meetings were part of efforts to bring together like-minded parties against the BJP at the national level.
Leaders of several opposition parties including TMC, SP, AAP, RLD and the Left parties assembled at NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s residence in New Delhi on Tuesday to hold a meeting, amid the heightened speculation about the possibility of a third front against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
NDA alliance partner and Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Tuesday said that no matter how many fronts are formed against PM Modi, he will remain number one.
"There’s a dire need for the unification of regional parties as there’s a strong need for an alternative to Congress and BJP," Rao told media after his meeting with Patnaik.
She said the stand of the party while entering into any alliance in any election has been to get a respectable share of the seats to contest. Otherwise, it sees fighting on its own as a better option, she said.
After BS Yeddyurappa's resignation due to lack of MLAs in Karnataka Assembly, the Janata Dal-Secular leader was flooded with congratulatory messages from anti-BJP parties.
Claiming that the idea of a federal front can work if the opposition parties unite on a common minimum agenda, she said the election results would be in their favour if the Front can pit the BJP in one-on-one contests in 80 per cent of the Lok Sabha seats.
To a question, Rao said he would not mind leading the movement for the "change".
