 "Congress could consider giving support to Third Front: Khurshid")
Congress could consider extending support to the Third Front or taking its help to form the government if necessary after the Lok Sabha elections, Union Minister Salman Khurshid today said.
He claimed that Narendra Modi was going to emerge as a "big problem" for BJP and referring to Ram temple movement, said that when "Bhagwan ki lehar" (God's wave) could not stop Congress, then how can "Modi wave" stop it.
Speaking to reporters at his native village Pitauram, there seemed to be no possibility of BJP forming the government.
He said that Modi had said in Varanasi that Maa Ganga has called him.
Khurshid said that Modi went to pay floral tributes to great personalities, but did not went for "darshan" and "pujan" of Ganga.
