Third Front is mixture of political parties: Badal

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today dubbed the formation of third front as "mixture of political parties", saying the front was not capable of preventing Narendra Modi from becoming Prime Minister.
Badal, while talking to mediapersons on the sidelines of a function here, also dared the third front to declare its Prime Ministerial candidate so voters can make choice between them and BJP.
"Going by the mood of the nation this front is not capable of preventing Modi for becoming the Prime Minister of the country," he said.
"The countrymen have already made up their mind to handover the reign of the country in the strong hands of Modi due to which such fronts would hardly have any impact in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls," he said.

The Chief Minister said the SAD-BJP alliance has already geared up for the forthcoming general polls by announcing the majority of candidates adding that the remaining candidates would be announced soon.
Buoyed over the success of Modi's Fateh rally in the state, Badal said the Gujarat Chief Minister would also address a few more rallies in the state before the elections.

Earlier, while addressing the gathering during 'Sangat Darshan' programme at Dina Nagar assembly segment here, he gave a clarion call to people to form NDA-led government at the Centre, saying a decisive Prime Minister like Modi will restore country's glory as 'Golden Sparrow'.

Chief Minister said Modi had already proved his mettle as a visionary leader by making Gujarat a leading state of the country.
Badal impressed upon the people to rise above their "parochial" considerations and vote for the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate to restore the lost glory of the country.
"Every vote for BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate was a vote for the betterment of the country," he said.
The Chief Minister accused Congress party of misruling the country and its wrong policies during the last 55 years.
"Due to misrule of Congress spanning over more than 55 years the dreams of our freedom fighters to have a progressive India has not been realised," he said.

"The result of wrong policies of Congress is that today the country is facing a number of social maladies like unemployment, poverty, starvation, illiteracy and inflation which have accentuated the woes of the common man," Badal alleged.
