Chennai: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav yesterday called for a third front at the national level as the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have both failed in their promises.
“Samajwadi Party believes that there should be a third front at the national level. The policies of Congress and BJP are not pro-poor,” he told reporters here, claiming that both the parties and their allies have failed to fulfill their promises and there is a bright opportunity for an alternative political grouping.
He said some parties have urged the Samajwadi Party chief and his father Mulayam Singh Yadav to lead the nation and for that, the support should start from the south.
Akilesh Yadav was here to attend an event organised by PMK party.
