New Delhi Apparently wooing the Left for support, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday said all secular parties had an obligation to provide a "purposeful, secular" government at the centre and prevent the NDA from coming to power at "all cost".

Addressing a press conference, he said allies of the UPA, which were "unhappy", could be mollified but ruled out support to any government led by the Left parties arguing that they would not get more seats than the Congress.

when asked about whether he would appeal to the Left to again support a UPA government, he said as quoted by PTI that "I always believe that all secular forces have an obligation to work together to give the country a purposeful, secular government."

"There is a wider purpose to give the country a purposeful, secular government for which all secular forces should vote together," he said.
