“There are no two opinions about the Congress-led UPA's comeback.
I had said there will be a third UPA, but there will be no single majority', Chacko told PTI when pointed out that Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi had rejected the view that Congress was an ‘underdog' or that it faced an ‘uphill' task in the Lok Sabha polls.
Confident of a Congress win, Chacko said demoralisationis rampant in the CPI(M) camp as the Left party had in a ‘dictatorial manner' foisted five Independent candidates who have nothing to do with the Left movement.
“Discontentment is rampant in the rank and file of CPI(M)and it will have repercussions not only in the coming elections, but in the long run as well,” he said.
Chacko, who was chairman of the Joint Parliamentary Committee which probed the 2G spectrum scam, had represented Piravom in the assembly in 1980 and was a minister in the E K Nayanar ministry.
