Cong may join with Third Front to stop Modi: Prithviraj Chavan

April 25, 2014 18:46

Hinting at the possible post-polls strategy of his party, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan today said the chances of Narendra Modi becoming the prime minister were slim, and the Congress could form the next government by joining hands with "the Third Front".

"I don't see any great possibility of Narendra Modi becoming the prime minister. Even if he gets more seats than us, he would not get support of the regional parties," Chavan said at a press conference in Mumbai.

"As the other alternative, the Congress and Third Front can form the government. We will try to form a secular government," he added.
