New Delhi, Apr 5: India's External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, said that Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) is not disintegrating. He added that UPA will form the next government with the support of Left parties. He said 'everything is possible'.

He added that the alliance is going strong while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Democractic Alliance (NDA) is disintegrating.

Pranab said that while Sonia Gandhi, the Congress President is working to keep allies intact at the national level, he is constantly in touch with the local leaders.

When asked about the newly formed alliance in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh between RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh and LJP President Ram Vilas Paswan, Pranab said the these parties are still very much with the UPA.
