Is a third alternative in the offing?

Apr 19, 2008 misc

The United National Progressive Alliance (UNPA) and the Left parties today came closer on the pressing issue of price rise and inflation and vowed to work together, indicating that a third alternative may take a concrete shape well before the next Lok Sabha elections.

Leaders of the UNPA and the Left parties jointly addressed a seminar on inflation organised by the UNPA here. Later, they led hundreds of their activists in courting arrest against the government’s ‘failure’ to check the rising prices. Though the Left leaders confined themselves to raising the issue of price rise and inflation, the UNPA leaders called upon the Left parties to accept the challenge of evolving a broad national alternative to replace the regime at the Centre.
