AAP open to supporting Third Front to stop BJP

Few days back, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi had ruled out extending suppor to a Third Front government saying he was confident that Congress will have the numbers to form UPA III.

But Mulayam had hoped that Congress would support a Third Front government.

Rai said Arvind Kejriwal was confident of winning the “mega contest” against BJP's Narendra Modi in Varanasi as there has been a “yearning for change” across the temple town.  

“People want to see change in Varanasi. They have been supporting BJP and Congress for last so many decades but the elected representatives never cared for the city and that is why there has been a groundswell of support for AAP,” Rai who was here for campaigning said.

The presence of Modi and Kejriwal in the political battle here has made the contest one of the most keenly watch fight of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
