Samajwadi Party has no immediate plans for third front: Nanda

Kolkata: Ruling out any
immediate chances of forging a third front, a senior Samajwadi
Party leader Sunday said his party wanted good relations with all
parties opposed to the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party.
"There is no question of any third front now. There are no
immediate chances," Samajwadi Party general secretary Kiranmoy
Nanda told IANS.
"We want good relations with outfits like the BJD (Biju Janata Dal),
Telegu Desam and the left parties," he said.
Nanda, a long time minister in the erstwhile Left Front government
in West Bengal, said his party also wanted good political
relations with the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress.
Samajwadi chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and Banerjee had come together
ahead of the presidential polls to declare their common panel of
candidates for the top post, but the bonhomie did not last long as
Mulayam Singh did a u-turn to support Congress nominee Pranab
Mukherjee.
However, Nanda refused to pay much heed to the presidential poll
saga. "We still have very good equations with the Trinamool."
The Samajwadi Party is lending outside support to the Congress-led
United Progressive Alliance (UPA) central government.
Noting that his party's support to the Congress was issue-based,
Nanda said the SP differed with the UPA on issues like the
promotion quota bill.
Mulayam Singh and his son and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Akhilesh Yadav will attend the SP's two-day national executive
committee meet here Sep 12-13, where the party's stand on the 2014
general elections will be discussed.
