May 15, 2009 bjp, congress, left
Stressing that the Left parties were serious about not having any truck with the Congress this time, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Tuesday lambasted the Congress for “failing miserably in every sector”, due to which the Left is in the process of forging an alternate Third Front with other political parties.
“Agriculture sector growth has fallen to 2 per cent; farmers are committing suicide. There has been tremendous rise in the prices of essential commodities. Moreover, the Congress is out to make strategic partnership with the US. We want an independent foreign policy.

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.

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
