Another reality facing the Left in the state is the absence of a ‘viable’ Third Front. Though there are some smaller parties which are not aligned with any side, many are reportedly keen to stay close to the Congress, given the party’s votebank which has often scripted the victory of its partners.
Some Left leaders said they might prefer to take an issue-based stand in future. They also did not rule out the Left sticking to the same side in opposing communalism (read the BJP). On his part, Karunanidhi has also been careful to take the Left parties along, echoing their view that communalism was the greatest threat facing the country.
