“Our aim is to ensure that voice of honest politics reaches Parliament. It does not matter whether we win 10 seats or 30 seats.
“We will go there and try to build pressure to bring systemic changes,” Rai said.
Last week, CPI(M) leader Prakash Karat had said that a repeat of the 1996-like situation was possible and the Congress may be forced to support a government of secular parties at the Centre to keep the BJP out of power.
The front of non-Congress, non-BJP parties would be able to cobble up a majority with outside support from Congress, he said.
Yesterday, Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati said her party will not join any front and her numbers will be enough to galvanise secular forces around her.
