CPI looks forward to a non-BJP, non-Congress govt. at Centre

Hyderabad, Apr 9 (ANI): Communist Party of India (CPI) general secretary A. B. Bardhan has expressed confidence of forming a non-Congress and non-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government after the forthcoming general elections.

Bardhan while addressing a news conference here on Wednesday said India no more can be fitted in Congress Party and BJP thus some other collation should be voted to power.

The Communists are spearheading a loose grouping of smaller regional parties popularly known as the 'Third Front', which pitches itself as an alternative to Congress and BJP-led alliance.

The Communists pulled out of the Congress party-led UPA Government last year over the issue of nuclear deal with the United States.

Amidst all these trends, the Communists are hoping several fence-sitting parties, who in the past have allied themselves either with the Congress or the BJP, will this time join the Third Front. (ANI)
