'We are telling the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress to not to take worries. We have enough candidates and more talented than they have. Let the elections be over and the formation of the Front take place and then we will decide who the Prime Minister will be,' Yechury said while addressing a public rally here.

New Delhi: Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh on Monday ruled out the possibility of his party joining the Third Front, saying he saw no hope as long as Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) general secretary Prakash Karat was at its helm.

Amar Singh said Karat denied him an appointment to "discuss my personal issue" recently only because of his proximity with the Congress.

"If comrade Harkishan Singh Surjeet had been the general secretary of the CPI-M, there would have some hope (of his party joining the Third Front)," Amar Singh told reporters.

He was asked if there was a possibility of the Samajwadi Party joining the Third Front, if the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party left the grouping.
