“Instability of the V P Singh or Deve Gowda governments and others, all of them had to depend on outside support of the Congress or in the case of V P Singh...also of BJP, and it's only the Congress or BJP which withdrew support.”
“So, the ideal situation is and we would like to work for is a combination which does not have to rely on outside support,” Yechury said.
Asked whether they would have to join hands with Congress to prevent BJP from coming to power, he said, “No. I don't think such a situation will arise.”
On whether such a front would get majority on its own, the CPI(M) leader said “that's why I am saying all these issues will be discussed post-election. It will depend on the results.”
