Extending outside support impractical, utopian: Digvijay

People from outside....I think....it does not work.”

On the party extending outside support to the United Front government in 1996, the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister said, “It didn't work.”

“Well, I would not say it”, Singh said when asked if it was a mistake on the part of Congress to do so at that time.

“It may have been the right thing to do at that time but certainly it didn't prove to be the right thing to do.”

The Congress leader's remarks come after Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan last week said his party could form the next government by joining hands with “the Third Front”, while Union minister Salman Khurshid said they could consider extending support to it or taking its help to form the government if necessary after the Lok Sabha polls.
