The CPI-M Saturday said it was not currently concerned about forming a third front, and is instead working on strengthening Left and democratic forces opposed to the Congress and the BJP for the 2014 general elections.
"We are not envisaging the creation of a third front at the moment. We are working on strengthening all the Left and democratic forces. We are working on forging alliance of non-Congress and non-BJP forces," Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) general secretary Prakash Karat said after the conclusion of the party's three-day central committee meeting here.
Karat however, did not concur with the views of Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad who Friday described the third front "a group of wannabe prime ministers" that will never come into existence.
"Lalu Prasad and his party have already decided to align with the Congress. That is why he is saying such things. We do not share his views," said Karat.
He also said the party was working towards stirring up a nationwide movement against the faulty economic policies of the government and determined to effect not only the fall of the Congress led United Progressive Alliance government but also prevent the "communal" Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from coming to power.
