The Third Front in Indian Politics is a mirage which is floated by ambitious politicians out of power.It is a non starter. We are already in the coalition era centered around the two national parties; the Congress and the BJP. The broad divisions are around, basically, a majority(Hindu) oriented and a minority( other religious groupings) oriented groupings. The leftists comprising of the Communists, and the old Socialists have chosen either of these camps where their inclininations suit them. Then there is a Republican group which is also splintered as are the personality and dynastic regional parties who are only power grabbers. There is no core around which a consistent programme and vision can be propagated in the Indian Polity. The third fronts programmes are all subsumed under one or the other alliance. All that this third front can do is to come together during election time and split midway on personality basis. It is a waste of time unless they all bury their individual egos and join Mayawati's BSP as the nucleus. Without the BSPs all their efforts is just hot air.

We hav seen many such coalitions in the past and this new one is nothing but old wine in new bottle. It is very clear this conclave hav started to cheat the masses with tall promises to grab power and thereafter ride on their shoulders and amass wealth. As long as people are prepared to get fooled,well these parties will have a field day. Will they do any good to people, never, but will setaside all pro_people schemes implemented by the present govt/s as if they doesnot befit the naation. Jaya is out means calamity is nearing the nation. All corrupt criminals are in the conclave and their strategy is to make money. It is more so with all parties incl congress & BJP. But heavensake this BJP should never be voted to power as it is a fit for nothing one as we have seen in the past they lost the govt for a trivial issue like non-availability of onion. Their nethas are hetrogeneous and their main job wil be to keepon blaming pakistan for each & every issue facing our nation, be it internal or external. Only God can save the country or a big calamity.
