JOIN US"We are confident that we will be in a position to form an alternative government. We will not support a Congress-led government at the Centre and we will also not allow BJP to take advantage of any situation," CPI leader D Raja told reporters.
This was the "strategic position" of the party, he said.
Dismissing exit polls as "speculation", Raja said the actual situation will emerge only after the May 16 results.
He said the Left had appealed to the people to vote for an alternative secular government at the Centre and an alternative non-BJP non-Congress government. "I think people have given that support. It will be known on the 16th," he said.
Referring to the meeting between BJP's prime ministerial candidate L K Advani and US Charge d'Affairs Peter Burleigh yesterday, Raja said no external power should try to interfere in political affairs of the country.
"I must underline that no external power should try to interfere in our political affair and no political party should give any room to external powers to meddle in our affair. We are opposed to any external power meddling in our affair," he said.
