New Delhi: With less than three months left for the Lok Sabha elections and amidst the growing clamour of a possible Third Front, MPs of a number of regional parties are meeting on Wednesday.
Parliamentarians from the Left parties, AIADMK, Janata Dal (United), Biju Janata Dal, Janata Dal (Secular), Asom Gana Parishad and Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) are meeting to work out a common floor strategy against the government.
The AIADMK has already cemented an alliance with the Communist Party of India and Communist Party of India (Marxist) for the general elections.
Samajwadi Party whose supremo Mulayam Singh has already proclaimed that a Third Front government at the Centre is impossible without his party playing an active role is also likely to attend the meet.
An alliance of non-Congress, non-BJP parties, a political experiment undertaken to spice up the electoral battle in the last two decades, was often called as the biggest mirage of the Indian politics.
Breaking its 17-year-old alliance with the BJP and not keen on sharing the anti-incumbency of the Congress, Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal United leader Nitish Kumar too was marching forward. Nitish said, "There is a possibility of alliance with CPI in Bihar. We are focusing on a larger alliance at the national level. This will be a non-Congress and non-BJP front."
The first signs of such a rainbow coalition were seen on October 30, 2013 in Delhi when these parties had joined hands during the anti-communalism convention.
