 "Third Front will form next govt, says Karat")
CPI (M) General Secretary Prakash Karat today claimed there is a strong "anti-Congress wave" in the country which would benefit the Third Front and not the BJP.
"Forget that the country will have a Congress government this time," he told reporters here.
When asked if they would seek the support of the Congress in forming the government, he shot back, "It is for the Congress party to see whether they have to support the secular forces or not."
Karat was in the city to seek votes for the CPI(M) candidate from Ludhiana Sukhminder Singh Sekhon.
