April 17, 2009
Communist Party of India-Marxist Politburo member Sitaram Yechury said the Third Front will re-think on the Indo-US
nuclear deal if voted to power.
       
"The Indo-US nuclear deal signed by the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government will put pressure on India and if Third Front voted to power will re-think on the deal," Yechury told media-persons in Nashik on Thursday.
       
"We will provide a stable government at the Centre if non-Congress secular government voted to power," the politbureau member said.
       
The Third Front is getting good response and the 1996 and 1998 (non-Congress secular government formed at the Centre) will be repeated in the 15th
Lok Sabha polls, the Marxist leader said.
        
On the prime mkinisterial issue, he said that it was not proper to decide who will be the next prime minister, while the elections are on and said it will be solved amicable amongst its members.
