''This unholy alliance will not last long and the snap poll would be held at any time in 2008,'' he said adding the party was fully prepared to face it.

Despite the concern raised by various political parties in parliament and also their agitational programmes on streets to protest the price rise of essentials, the UPA government had failed to take the remedial measures, he wondered.
