Stalin rejects third front without Congress; says no to post-poll tie-up

The Hindu  

DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday rejected the idea of a third front, an alliance without the Congress, and a post-electoral coalition for next year’s Lok Sabha election. I humbly request all the political parties opposed to the BJP to understand this simple electoral arithmetic and stand united,” he said, addressing a mammoth public meeting organised to mark his 70th birthday celebration. Mr. Stalin made it clear that “who should not come to power is crucial and not who should form the government after the 2024 Lok Sabha election” while calling upon the regional parties not to allow “State politics” come in the way of unity at the national level. Mr. Stalin said that what the Opposition parties waging was an ideological war and the Lok Sabha election next year would be the battle field where the battle against the BJP would be won.
