Reopen CAL 4 Reopen CAL 4 Commenting on Lalu Prasad's comment yesterday that he did not foresee formation of a third front during the 2014 elections, Karat said "RJD has decided to go along with the Congress party in Bihar also. Probably he doesn't see the scope for formation of any other front now. We don't share his views. "Our party will work for the strengthening of non Congress non-BJP forces in the country. But we are also not advocating a third front at present. We don't how it will take shape or in what form. Right now we are not in the business of forming a third front. "We are now focusing on strengthening the Left and rally the democratic and secular forces. At the time of election we might have some understanding with some non Congress, secular parties. But we are not emphasizing on the projection of the front. So we are not talking about it. That stage is not finished," said Karat. PTI PNT SUN PC HKS
