Kumaraswamy openly declared that Mayawati would lead the Third Front in the next elections. Offering Mayawati his support, Kumaraswamy said that he is confident she will lead the Third Front in the days ahead.

"In future politics, our party will stand by madam, and strenghten the Third Front. I have full confidence that madam Maywati will lead the country and also the Third Front," he said.

Meanwhile, CPI-M General Secretary, Prakash Karat clarified that no front has been constituted so far and that UNPA, BSP, JD (S), TDP, RLD and Left parties have come together only for a national campaign against the UPA.

He said the UPA victory was engineered and that they were the real alternative to the UPA and the NDA.
