"The UPA government might be patting itself for whatever happened yesterday. But at the same time, it is the defeat of the democracy," BSP supremo Mayawati told a press conference after a breakfast meeting with leaders of Left parties, TDP, TRS, RLD and JD(S) among others.

Reading out from the statement adopted at the meeting, CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat said that the "UPA government may have won the vote in the Lok Sabha yesterday but has lost the trust of the nation in the immoral manner in which it has engineered this win.

"The Manmohan Singh government has lost its moral authority. All the political parties present decided to launch a national level campaign on pressing issues before the people," Karat said.

The statement was adopted by leaders of ten parties -- BSP, TDP, Forward Bloc, RSP, Janata Dal (S), RLD, IMLD, JVM, CPI and CPI(M).

The campaign will be launched against price rise, inflation, agrarian crisis leading to farmers suicides, Karat said.
