Marandi extends support to Third Front

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister and MP Babulal Marandi has extended support to the Third Front.

In a letter to TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu, the prominent Jharkhand leader said he supported the Front, which was a non-UPA and non-NDA option.

He said that he could not attend the Front's meeting here due to prior poll-related commitments.

"I assure you that after the Lok Sabha elections, my party's support will be with you," Jharkhand Vikas Manch chief said in a letter to Naidu yesterday.

  Marandi represents Koderma constituency in Jharkhand.
