The results of the 2004 general elections indicated

that the national election results were the net

aggregate of the results of all states. There was no

all-India pattern.

Neighbouring states had voted in opposite

directions. The 2009 general election results,however, presented a different analysis. In most

parts of the country there was a visible pro-

incumbency trend. The Congress did better than its

otherwise natural strength in the states. The urban

constituencies voted overwhelmingly in favour of

the Congress.

The performance of

the Congress in

states like Haryana,

Delhi, Uttar Pradesh ,

Madhya Pradesh,

Rajasth an and Gujarat

was much b etter than

i ts strength in the

legislat ive assemblies

of tho se states.

With the two p r incipal nat ional part ies witho ut some of

their regular al l ies, sm aller and region al part ies smell an

opp ortuni ty for a Third Front . The Third Front has been

exper imented with on s everal occ asions in India. It is a

fai led idea.

As we approach the next

general elections some

significant changes have

taken place. The very

acceptable persona of the

Prime Minister, Manmohan

Singh, in 2009 has been

adversely affected.

Corruption, indecisiveness,

weak leadership, price rise

and the terrible state of the

economy have created ahuge anti-incumbency

environment.

The possibility of the party

contesting under one leader

is now real. The BJP had

won 12 seats in Bihar in the

last elections where its

alliance has recently

suffered a setback. It has an

opportunity to improve

upon this figure. In

Karnataka, the party has to

factor in electoral realities

rather than internalimbalances.

As w e approach the next

general e lect ions som e

signi f icant changes have

taken place. The very

acceptable persona of the

Prime Minis ter,

Manmo han Singh , in 2009

has been adversely

affected. Corrup tion,

indecisiv eness, weak

There is no single party in the Third Front that is capable of winning a reasonable

number of seats in Parliament giving it the strength to anchor a coalition. The anchor of

a coalition necessarily has to be a party with over 150 seats in the Lok Sabha.

Otherwise a coalition government would inherently be unstable. The Third Front has no

one composite group. The DMK and the AIADMK, the Trinamool Congress and the Left,the Samajwadi Party and the BSP, the JD(U) and the RJD obviously cannot be members

of the same front. They occupy diametrically opposite spaces in their states. A very

large number of regional parties also occupy the non-Congress space within their

states.

They would run the danger of losing that non-Congress identity if they were to align in

a post-electoral environment with the Congress.

The pol i t ica l issues wh ich are evolv ing in the run-up to the general elect ions are loaded

against the Cong ress. Lack of d ecis iveness and f i rm leadership is th e cause of popular

con cern. Never in history has the inst i tut ion o f the pr ime m inister been so severely

bel i t t led.

The prime minister is not regarded as either the leader of the country or of his own

political party. The economic situation in the country is worrisome. The price rise has

affected every citizen adversely, more so the middle classes and the weaker sections.

Job creation has suffered. There has been a reverse flight of investment within the

country. Business confidence is running low. Once perceived as a dream team to

handle Indias economy, it has produced a nightmare.
