Third Front continues to be strong: Kumaraswamy

Refuting reports that the Third Front was on the verge of a split, JD(S) leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy today said the front continued to be strong and united and none had deserted it.    

Talking to reporters at the airport here, Kumaraswamy said 'we will sit together to discuss the issues in Third Front and take appropriate decisions unitedly.     

Reports that certain parties had left the front were totally false, he said.     

On his meeting with Congress President Sonia Gandhi at Delhi yesterday, he said it was only to discuss the developments in Karnataka politics.     

Kumaraswamy, along with his wife, later left on a two-day private visit to Guruvayoor.
