Ahmed Patel says, Congress ready to support 'secular' front; politicos react

A day after key Sonia aide Ahmed Patel stated that the Congress may consider dropping its claim to lead the next 'secular' coalition at the Centre and lend support to a non-BJP front in order to deny Narendra Modi the prime ministership, politicos gave mixed reaction. While the Congress restated that it is ready to support any secular power, the BJP said that the Congress has already admitted its defeat therefore it is looking for support.
