Mulayam firm on third front

JIND, JAN 2. The Samajwadi Party chief and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Mulayam Singh Yadav, today said he was confident of forming the third front at the Centre "despite the hesitation of the Left at this juncture'' in this regard.

"`After rejecting the NDA, the people of the country are now in a mood to reject the UPA as well as they are dissatisfied with the government. Therefore, the third front is the need of the hour,'' Mr Yadav told reporters after addressing an election rally in Julana in the district. Regarding the statement of the Left parties that there was no need to have a third front at present, Mr Yadav said he would still continue his efforts for the same. Mr Yadav parried aside the question whether he was interested to become the Prime Minister after forming the third front. ``Not now,'' he replied with a smile. Earlier addressing the rally, Mr Yadav criticised the Congress by stating that the party was creating obstacles in the developmental works of his government in Uttar Pradesh. ``But we will continue to run the government in UP successfully despite the negative role of the Congress there,'' he added. -- UNI
