United Front (UF) leaders, who haven't held a meeting in a long time, decided to meet last week and discuss the emerging political scenario.As agreed, four senior leaders of the Front - H.S. Surjeet, H.D. Deve Gowda, A.B. Bardhan and Murasoli Maran - landed at the UF office on Akbar Road. But they were surprised to see the office locked and no one in the vicinity. While the leaders waited on the verandah, their security guards tried desperately to locate the office secretary. Half an hour later, they found his house, only to learn that the man had left for his village.To make the most of a bad situation, the four sat inside one of the air-conditioned cars and chatted for 15 minutes before one of them slammed the brakes on the talks and each went his own way.Published By: AtMigration Published On: Sep 21, 1998--- ENDS ---
