With regional parties gainng clout, the Congress and BJP blueprint to block out regional formations and confine political power to themselves will not succeed, Surjeet said.

``Today there is a necessity for the Third Front'', Surjeet told journalists, adding the Left parties would continue to project the Third Front as an answer to the Congress and BJP.

The CPI (M) leader said the BJP's allies had to reconsider their continued support to the government following the unambiguous rejection of the BJP's brand of politics in last week's assembly polls.

``The BJP's allies have to seriously re-think whether their continuing support to the government serves their own interests or even the interests of the country'', he said.

Reiterating the Left'sdemand that the BJP should resign on ``moral grounds'', Surjeet said the BJP had always claimed the moral high ground. ``What has happened to the BJP's morality now?,'' he wondered.

Asked if a Congress Government was likely, he said, ``Let this government go. There will be no dearth of solutions that would emerge''. But there was no question of ``doing a BJP in UP'', he said. ``There is no question of replacing the BJP with a Congress Government. We will not do anything like the BJP did in Uttar Pradesh by organising defections through money bags'', he said.
