Dharamshala, Jul 24 (UNI) Suspended Congress leader Vijai Singh Mankotia today said the prevailing political scenario in the state is conducive for formation of the third front, which was likely to secure a large number of seats in the next assembly elections.

Talking to mediapersons here while reviewing the arrangements for the BSP's supremo and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's rally here on Thursday, he said the third front was likely to secure a large number of seats after the next assembly elections.

Mr Mankotia said since the political scenario had changed a lot when a third front was formed in the state about 17 years ago, it was likely to secure a large number of seats this year.

Last time when the third front was formed in the state it had won 11 seats out of a total of 17 seats that it had contested, he said.

Warning all those who amassed wealth beyond their known sources of income and through corrupt means, he said they would not be spared after the BSP led third front comes to power after the next assembly elections.

Replying to a question, he said the BSP was not a party of any particular caste but now included other sections of the society.

Mr Mankotia, who would formally join the BSP on Thursday, said that the BSP would be a potent force in the state in the coming days and would change the political scenario of the state.

Referring to the slow pace of development in the lower areas of the state, he said earlier he had to fight for its development, but after the BSP comes to power it would reach new heights.

He said charges of corruption levelled by him against the Chief Minister and others were true and based on documentary proof, adding that his fight against the corruption would continue.
