Contrary to what the Congress and the BJP hoped would be a contest between the two parties and their respective allies, the coming together of the non-Congress, non-BJP parties are challenging both the Congress and the BJP in a number of states.

Third Front is far from reality
A secular non-Congress and non-BJP Government is a distant reality in India. Even the emergence of Third Front leaves a little hope of any such government as the front does not even has a single ideology or PM candidate.
IN THE Indian politics, the third alternative has always been lurking like a pole star, which comes into the picture only during the pre-election time and vanishes like a star during the bright daylight, after the elections.
