Mamata`s initiative for third front is very welcome, but she must be inclusive to single out Congress and BJP, both!

Mamata has to rise above Bengal Politics to lead the nation in ts liberation war against joint UPA NDA genocide culture.


I am afraid that she may not.Bengal is suffering from unprecedented anarchy, criminal resurgence and violence.


Mamata has failed to prove herself as leader as well as executive.


The Panchayat elections have become a farce as she has stalled democracy for her party monopoly.


Monopolistic attitude would not help to constitute a national alliance as alternative to BJP and Congress.


Moreover, her initiative is rooted deep in the urgency to woo the minority vote bank in Bengal which is quite doubtful about her relationship with Sangh Paiwar. As the prime minister face of the Sangh Pariwar, Narendra Modi, the genocide master from Gujarat, has spoken her language to put forward her content in his recent Kolkata visit and , thereafter, BJP has been openly supporting Didi and it helped her to win Howrah Loksabha

byelection where the TMC winning margin decreased from 1,84, 000 to mere 27,000 in comparison to last assembly elections.


Minority votes proved to be decisive to sustain Left Rule in Bengal for thirty five years. But within two years, minorities seem to be disillusioned.


Thus, Didi has to clear her stance as she has declared to root out UPA, whether she has opted for NDA! She is doing exactly that.


Didi`s exercise for third front means nothing if UPA and NDA continue to get bed partners!


It is not so easy task.


It needs an alignment of  not only all regional parties, but also all the left parties whom Didi despises most and would never be ready to share any space with them.


Then, Didi has to get the support of all socialist and ambedkarite parties.


The task is not so impossible, Didi has got the charisma , no doubt, but she should learn to work with opposition.


Nitish Kumar may break away from Sangh Pariwar, it is well known. But it would not solve the puzzle at all.


Congress succeeded to keep SP and BSP on the same deck as it also managed rivals in the South.


Sonia Gandhi, despite her exclusive imported economist corporate team has proved herself politically more inclusive than anyone else.


If Sonia can do, why not Didi?


Akalies always voted for Dr Manmohan Singh despite being a constituent of NDA.


Mamata should be  the unopposed leader of Bengal first , only then she may aspire for national role and it is not happening.


Personally, many of us would want  the third front immediately to dislodge the hegemony of two ntipeople parties in the centre who have been converting the Nation a free hunting ground for decades,  even from the time way back to 1991 while Dr Manmohan Singh emerged as reincarnation of open market blackmoney economy.


Policies never changed and they shared power with minority governments.


This match fixing should end as soon as possible!


Thus, we want that Didi should modify as national leader discarding her regional partsan politics in national interest.


Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chiefMamata Banerjee on Wednesday said that she had spoken to bothOdisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on the formation of a 'federal front'.

"When they will respond in a positive way, I will let you know. But discussions are going on. We are friends and we can talk," she told mediapersons outside her office in Kolkata.

Janata Dal (United) leader K.C. Tyagi met the TMC supremo at her office in Kolkata today.

Naveen Patnaik on his part today mentioned that there are possibilities of a Third Front surfacing during the next elections.

Patnaik, who is the chief of Biju Janata Dal (BJD), termed this new front as a healthy trend.

"Well its early day as yet, let's hope for the best, we will see in the future. It is a healthy trend," he told the media in New Delhi.


Moreover,sounding confident of a change of regime at the Centre after next Lok Sabha polls, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Wednesday said there would be a "friendly government", taking an apparent dig at the UPA rule which she has been accusing of meting out step-motherly treatment to her state.


She made the remarks at the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of the Cancer Institute here while stating that the institute's plea for upgradation to the status of Centre of Excellence was pending with the UPA Government for approval.


"I have written to the Prime Minister of India, regarding the pending request of the Cancer Institute, considering the excellent service rendered for over three decades, even while functioning as an NGO," she said referring to its Chairperson V Shantha's statement that it had applied for upgradation.


"We are awaiting the approval of the present Government of India. If the approval fails to materialise, I solemnly assure Dr Shanta that next year there will be a friendly Government at the Centre that will immediately afford necessary approval for recognition of the Cancer Institute as a Centre of Excellence," she said.


Jayalalithaa has been asking AIADMK cadres to work for the victory of the party in all 40 Lok Sabha constituencies in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry to ensure a greater role for her at the national level.


Rather India Today has published the truth as it is! Just see:

Nitish Kumar, Naveen Patnaik, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mamata Banerjee and Chandrababu Naidu -- all are professional Third Front runners with a divided following and one lasting ambition: Can I Deve Gowda it to 7 Race Course Road?


The regional kings and queen run fronts in their minds when they are not running with the hounds. And now, with a BJP divided over Narendra Modi, the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) planning to divorce the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Congress crumbling under the weight of corruption, they all know it is the time to go full Third Frontal.


"The Third Front will be a healthy alternative," Biju Janata Dal (BJD) chief Naveen Patnaik said on Tuesday. But he also said, "it is too early to discuss that option."


But one fact binding the JD-U, BJD, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is their "equidistance" from both the BJP and the Congress, as Patnaik said.


TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu even claimed on Tuesday that a Third Front will form the next government at the Centre!


He said the Congress had lost its credibility and the BJP was not picking up, leaving the field open to the Third Front.


Mulayam Singh Yadav, the Samajwadi Party chief, has regularly been sending out feelers to the other anti-BJP and anti-Congress parties to unite and make a bid for Delhi.


But what's uniting these parties really? One, of course, is the chance to share the power to rule India, hopefully for five years provided the conjured-up coalition does not fall apart, and the probablity of one of the party leaders becoming the prime minister.


"I don't see myself as a potential prime minister," Patnaik said. But then he also added: "Let's see what happens after the election."


Mulayam, of course, will be the front-runner, given the number of MPs he will bring to the yet-to-be-formed front and given his experience. Nitish Kumar too has his hopes -- given his popularity as a secular leader and development icon.


Mamata is caught up fire-fighting in West Bengal to think about the top post. But the Third Front she will be happy to be part of, made clear by her Facebook post on Monday where she appealed to "all the non-Congress, non-BJP regional parties to launch a united fight to free the country from misrule and anti-people decisions. Time has come for all regional parties to come together and form a federal front in the coming Lok Sabha election," the post said. It is noteworthy that she hasn’t said non-Left here.


CPI-M general secretary Prakash Karat too has said that the Third Front could be formed on the basis of common policies and programmes.


But his scorn for other possible allies was evident from this stament: "The combined strength of the regional parties like AIADMK, SP, BJD and JD-U is bigger than Congress and BJP, but in political character, they are all opportunistic."


The DMK and the Bahujan Samaj Party have not made their stands clear yet and the AIADMK is expected to side with the NDA, given its chief J. Jayalalithaa’s greeting for Modi when he was named by the BJP as its poll panel chief. UP Chief Minister Ahkilesh Yadav did try to ask Jayalaithaa to pitch for support after saying at a function: "Yes, we need a Third Front."


But who knows about Mayawati and Karunanidhi? Karunanidhi has been the silent on such speculation after severing ties with the UPA.


Mayawati has just said that she is not for any third front. Then there is Janata Dal-Secular (which once catapulted Deve Gowda to the top post) and the NCP with Sharad Pawar as the perennial PM candidate.


But who knows whom 2014 will bring to the PM's post? Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi or a third

Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Ram Gopal Yadav ruled out any possibility of BJP and Congress winning back the power in next general elections.

"After the election of 2014 or 2013 whenever the elections take place, a clear situation would emerge before everybody. It has been decided that apart from Congress party and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), other parties in this country would come to power after winning majority in the general elections," said Yadav, while interacting with the media inNew Delhi.


The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), however, claimed that the formation of any kind of front doesn't matter, as the main competition would still be between the BJP and the Congress Party.


"In the upcoming elections, the agenda would be the determination of NDA (National Democratic Alliance) to move forward on the path of development, what was witnessed by the people of this country and also the corrupt regime of Congress, when we were stuck in the web of inflation, corruption and other international problems throughout these nine and the half years," said BJP Vice-President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.

"Apart from this, different parties keep on making different fronts and keep fighting, so this would continue too," he added.

The latest development with regard to the formation of a Third Front at the Centre comes just days after Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was elevated as the chairman of BJP's campaign committee for 2014 Lok Sabha polls.


Amid talks of a third front in the2014 polls, nearly 30,000 people from Odisha led by BJD president and chief minister Naveen Patnaik gathered at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on Wednesday to protest the Centre's apathy towards the state's demand for a special category status.


"Around 30,000 people are attending the Swabhiman Samavesh rally at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi," Vinod Dhawan, a protester, told IANS.


"It has been a very long-standing demand of Odisha for the special category status. The state satisfies the existing criteria for special status,"Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader and Lok Sabha member Jay Panda told a TV news channel.


"Some states who have three times the per capita income of Odisha, and twice of what the national average is, are getting special category benefits," he added.


The chief minister has been pressing for the special category status for Odisha, citing the state as one of the poorest in the country. He has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh many times in this regard.


According to Patnaik, Odisha satisfies most of the criteria for special status, except that it does not have an international boundary.


Patnaik Tesday said a third front was possible, and Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee said after meeting JD-U leader K.C. Tyagi in Kolkata that she has spoken to Patnaik and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on forming a federal front.


"I made an appeal through Facebook for setting up a non-Congress and non-BJP federal front. I have already discussed the matter with Naven Patnaik and Nitish Kumar. They have responded positively," Banerjee said after her talks with Tyagi.


She added that some other leaders also deliberated with her on the matter. "We will meet at an appropriate time."


Tyagi, who called his visit a "courtesy call", said "both the UPA and the BJP have failed".
