Will Jayalalitha Amma stay with Third Front?
May 15, 2009 aiadmk
Like it happened during the trust vote, a front that the Left parties pieced together with a lot of effort is coming apart at the last minute. Though the AIADMK is a member of the front, the Left leaders are clueless about whether she will attend the May 18 meeting. Even AIADMK leaders say a decision will be taken only after the results.
The two factors that will then decide whether she stays with the front are whether it has the numbers to form a government at the Centre and what kind of incentive will such a set up have for Jayalalithaa….More

Modi in Delhi to forge alliance with Third Front?
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is in Delhi to begin the negotiations two days before the final counting.
Modi is scheduled to hold talks with the Third Front leaders and with All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) Chief J Jayalalithaa.
Earlier, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader M Venkaiah Naidu met Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Chief Chandrababu Naidu.
On Wednesday, May 13 BJP president Rajnath Singh said the BJP will emerge as the single largest party and NDA will form the next government after votes are counted on May 16.
“The BJP will emerge as the single largest party. The BJP-led NDA will get a majority or will fall short by a small margin in which case I am confident that other political parties will support us,” Singh said.
Singh refused to name the political parties, which are likely to extend support if NDA falls short of a majority.
“This is a part of our strategy. I will not say anything at all on this issue,” he added.
The BJP-led NDA is trailing behind the Congress-led UPA in the projections given by different exit polls in the Lok Sabha elections.
The surveys shown by TV channels after the end of fifth phase of polling placed the BJP-led NDA not very far behind the UPA and the Third Front likely to get little over 100 seats. More

Sonia attacks third front & BJP, spares Jaya
UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi who was on a short visit here on Sunday, to campaign for the Congress-DMK front chose to mainly attack the third front and BJP. She did not attack DMK’s arch-rival AIADMK or PMK. Even as DMK chief and Tamil Nadu chief minister, M Karunanidhi, ridiculed the separate Ealam demand of J Jayalalithaa at the meeting, Sonia did not criticise her but only reiterated Congress pledge of getting equal right and status for Tamils in Sri Lanka as mentioned in the Rajiv-Jayawardene treaty of 1987, between the two countries.
Ms Gandhi wondered how the third front with parties having contradictory views, could form an alternative government at the Centre after the elections. She predicted their fall like pack of cards. Similarly, she said BJP was not capable of coming back to power. …More
