Time ripe for floating 3rd alternative: Gowda

‘This is the right time to form the so-called third alternative against Congress and BJP. For such a formation, the prime ministerial candidate is not an important issue as its thrust is on policies and programmes,’ Gowda told a press meet here on Sunday.
While noting that results of the recent Delhi assembly elections were remarkable, Gowda said it was for Aam Aadmi Party to decide whether it would be part of the third alternative.
He said neither Congress nor BJP was going to cross the halfway mark in Parliament by projecting Gandhi and Modi as their prime ministerial candidates.
‘As far as the third alternative is concerned, the issue of prime ministerial candidate is immaterial. There are leaders like Mulayam Singh and Nitish Kumar who are aspirants for the that post,’ he said.
