LK Advani
LK Advani, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime ministerial candidate said that there is no ‘Third Front’ as such and many of the small parties would join NDA if it is in a position to form government at the Centre.
“The mere presence of political parties other than those which are with the Congress or the BJP does not mean there is a Third Front. I don’t think a Third Front exists,” Advani said. ..More..

Deve Gowda ready to forgive Left
HD Deve Gowda, chief of the Janata Dal (Secular) and former prime minister, is prepared to forgive all past humiliations, all intended slights — in the interest of the nation.
For the 76-year-old “humble farmer”, even the raw deal that his party recently got in Kerala is not important anymore. Even after the grand endeavour of the Third Front was initiated, the Communist Party of India-Marxist denied the JD(S) any ticket in Kerala, including the latter’s sitting constituency…More..

Third Front Left heavy, feels JDS
The Third Front gambit by former prime minister H D Deve Gowda has caused much heartburn in the JDS ranks on account of the prominence given to its Left constituents.
JDS sources told Bangalore Mirror the projection of Third Front as a”people’s alternative” by Gowda could work against the party’s own image in four states and adversely affect the chances of its younger aspirants ahead of the polls.
Sources in the Kerala unit of JDS said the CPM-led ruling LDF in that state has refused to allot Kozhikode to JDS incumbent M P Veerendra Kumar, instead offering the Wayanad seat on the ground that it is the latter’s birthplace. The denial of Kozhikode has led to Kumar announcing the party will keep off from contesting the polls.
Party workers say Gowda may not have approved this kind of dominance by the Left parties unless he was assured of a better position, either for himself or the party, at the Centre if the Third Front is voted to power…More..

Third Front on the verge of crack in AP?
Too many cooks spoil the broth, they say. More than 10 parties all over the country have come together to form the Third Front, but there is trouble between the two main players of the Front in Andhra Pradesh.
The Telugu Desam Party and the Telangana party are having a spat over who will contest from six assembly seats.
The alliance that holds hands together well, stays together. Perhaps all this fumbling was an indication of things to come with Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) chief K Chandrasekhara Rao driving a hard bargain with his Third Front partners in Andhra Pradesh.
The TRS wants to contest 48 assembly seats but Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP is willing to give only 42…More..
