UPA very much intact: Mukherjee

Rejecting claims that UPA was disintegrating, senior Congress leader Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday said it "was very much intact" and did not rule out seeking Left support after the Lok Sabha elections.

Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Mukherjee said, "UPA is not a political entity and it is very much intact... it is not disintegrating". He instead claimed that the NDA was breaking apart.

"I am not an astrologer. I cannot predict what is going to happen after May 16. In the realm of politics, everything is possible," he told reporters at the AICC headquarters when asked whether Congress would seek the support of Left parties after Lok Sabha elections.

He said that UPA is not a political party but a government entity in which all constituents are present except those of the PMK like Anbumani Ramadoss and R Velu.

Taking a dig at the Third Front, he said it was a grouping of political parties in search of a Prime Minister.

Mukherjee recalled a play he had seen during his college days where the characters were ready to act but were in search of a script writer.

Likewise, "these are a number of political parties in search of a Prime Minister," he said.
