Extending outside support impractical, utopian: Digvijay

Union minister Jairam Ramesh said on Sunday he is not in favour of extending outside support to the Third Front dispensation if numbers don't stack up for NDA. Rather, he hinted he wants his party to join the government for stability if it comes to that.

Meanwhile, Singh sought to junk the poll surveys that projected only around 100 Lok Sabha seats for Congress.  

“It's not for the first time poll predictions are going against us. Even in 2004, the poll predictions were that NDA is going to sweep the polls....India Shining Campaign....even in 2009 the polls had predicted an NDA victory,” he said.

“I don't know why pollsters are very favourable to NDA and not very favourable to us.

But we have proved them wrong in 2004, 2009 and inspite of the blitzkrieg of publicity by Narendra Modi for his own benefit, we are going to do much better than what pollsters are predicting,” he added.
