All INDIA bloc parties, however, are taking a hardliners stand. Even the Left Front, which is hardly an electoral force in any state except Kerala, is expected to drive a tough bargain.

The CPI and CPM want a share in Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Telangana, Manipur, Assam, Punjab, Karnataka, Bihar, Jharkhand and even UP.
