Pawar turns Left, Cong squirms: "Express News ServiceFirst Published : 03 Apr 2009 04:25:00 AM ISTLast Updated : BHUBANESWAR: Trying for a larger political space, the hodge-podge Third Front has started dreaming big. The next big step towards the third alternative will be given shape tomorrow at a rally in Bhubaneswar. The game-changer is Sharad Pawar who will share the dais with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and, much to the chagrin of Congress, Left leaders Prakash Karat and AB Bardhan. NCP spokesman DP Tripathi has made it clear that there is no question of the party being apologetic about its participation in the rally. Congress called this a betrayal by the NCP supremo."
