Karat: I never said Mayawati cannot be Prime Minister

New Delhi: Amid reports that the “Third Front” was projecting Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati as its Prime Ministerial face, the CPI(M) said on Thursday that a decision in this regard would be taken at an “appropriate time.”

“The party will decide at an appropriate time as to who should be the Prime Minister [candidate of the Third Front],” said CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat.

Clarifying his remarks about the BSP chief in an interview to a TV channel, Mr. Karat said “I never said Mayawati cannot be Prime Minister.”

He was asked by the interviewer to specify whether the CPI(M) would back Mayawati as the Prime Ministerial candidate. — PTI
