Two days before the final counting, the Congress Core Committee is expected to meet later today at the UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s residence 10 Janpath, to discuss possible alliances for the formation of the government at the Centre.
This meeting comes against the backdrop of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) supremo Ram Vilas Paswan reaffirming his support for the UPA. This blow to the Fourth Front came after a series of phone calls were exchanged between Sonia Gandhi and Paswan yesterday.
Sources say that the LJP chief has assured Sonia Gandhi of his support and has fixed a meeting after May 16.
Last night, senior Congress leaders including Pranab Mukherjee, Ahmed Patel, AK Antony, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal met at the Prime Minister’s residence. The meeting chaired by Sonia Gandhi engaged in the strategy for post-poll scenario and getting more political allies for forming the next government.
With every passing day its getting clear that fourth front will dominate as the supporting power.
