New Delhi, May 11: Congress today asserted that a
non-NDA 'strong' secular government led by it would be in
place at the Centre but was coy about Sonia Gandhi heading new
dispensation.
All indications and reports from state units at the end
of the fourth and last phase of Lok Sabha polls suggest that
"the BJP-led NDA has been rejected by the people in the polls
and a non-NDA strong secular government led by Congress will
be formed at the Centre," party General Secretary Ambika Sonia
told reporters here.
She, however, decided to answer the question whether
Gandhi would head the government, saying, "I will reply to all
your questions after May 13 when the results are announced and
a clear picture emerges."
As the president of the Congress party, Sonia Gandhi
would have talks with the leaders of pre-poll allies as well
as non-NDA parties outside the alliance for the formation of a
secular government, she said adding the process had already
begun with Gandhi holding talks with CPI-M leader Harkishan
Singh Surjeet.
She declined to divulge what transpired at their talks.
