"Where is the difference in the poll manifestoes of the Congress and BJP with regard to economic icies?, Bhvam asked, while speaking at a meet the press programme here.

There was no question of supporting either a United Front or a coalition government run by the Congress, he said, adding that the party decided for seat adjustments with the Congress in some states to defeat the 'fascist' BJP.

Asserting that Left parties would play an important role in the post-poll scenario in the country, he said no party would get a majority.

Bhargavam said the poll result would be 'the beginning of the end of the Antony government in the state.'
