NCP leader says the nine-party alliance may become important after elections.
Pune: The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) cannot ignore the Third Front, the nine-party alliance, after the elections, said Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar on Thursday.
"If we do not get majority, we will have to talk to the third front," Pawar, whose NCP is a key constituent of the ruling UPA, told CNN-IBN.
He said the Left Parties, which formed an important constituent of the Third Front, had a significant share of seats in the last Lok Sabha. "Left parties are an important component of the third front who always have about 40-50 members in the Lok Sabha," Pawar said.
He did not rule out Samajwadi Party being a member of the Third Front. "This group of 80 to 100 MPs cannot be ignored," Pawar said.
