Non-Cong, Non-BJP govt will come to power after polls:CPI-M

CPI(M) Politbureau member Kodiyeri Balakrishnan today claimed that a non-congress and non-BJP government will come to power at the Centre after the Lok Sabha polls.
Speaking at a meet-the-press programme 'Dilli Chalo' of Calicut Press Club here, Balakrishnan said the Congress party has been isolated nationally and BJP will not be able to put up a better performance in the polls.
Many congress ministers and MPs had resigned from that party and in that situation, Congress would find it difficult to even get three figure mark in the elections, he said.
Both the UPA Government at the Centre and UDF Government in the state had failed to do anything to control the rising prices of essential goods, he alleged.

The congress has already accepted defeat, he said, adding ministers are running away from contesting.
