GUWAHATI: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav on Friday predicted a change in the national political scenario if AGP wrests power in Dispur for the third time upstaging the ruling Congress in the current two-phase assembly polls in Assam.
"We are working for an anti-Congress and anti-BJP third front, comprising regional and Left-wing parties," said Mulayam. "We want a Brindaban Goswami-led AGP government in Assam.
AGP will win this election and create an impact in national politics," Yadav said, while replying to a query on Friday whether there will be mid-term Lok Sabha polls after the assembly elections in five states.
Endorsing Yadav's forecast, former AP chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said, "The Brahmaputra looks very mild, but a strong undercurrent runs beneath its surface."
On infiltration from Bangladesh, Yadav said people of the country were fed up with Congress and BJP, and the time has come to provide an alternative.
Justifying the need for an alternative front, Naidu said the country has become pro-Bush. "Why did the Congress effect a sudden policy change? Is Sonia Gandhi behind it?"
"Sonia is attacking AGP here and not BJP," Naidu drove home his point that two parties were following an identical pro-Washington line in voting against Iran at the IAEA.
"Assam is rich in natural and human resources, but it is still backward. Congress is responsible for Assam's backwardness. Have they (Congress) implemented the Assam Accord?" he asked.
