New Delhi: As counting day nears, the 'what ifs' are gaining ground. If the Congress doesn't emerge as the single largest party, it could either sit in the Opposition, or back a Third Front government from outside. So which one will it be?
Officially, the party is not answering that question.
"We will form the government, it can't be done without us," is the only thing what Congress leader Kapil Sibal said.
Congress is leaning against backing a Third Front government because the party believes it would be an unstable coalition and its base would be undermined.

- Pros: It will strengthen the party in long term and groom Rahul Gandhi for the top job.
- Cons: Being out of power is political suicide and will give space to the BJP.
