UPA will get a third term: Manmohan

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is confident that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) will get a third term in the 2014 polls. "I have always believed that we will have a third go as UPA and the people will again repose their faith in us," Dr. Singh said in a tweet on Monday shortly after eight new union ministers were sworn in. This is the second term in government for the Congress-led UPA. The next Lok Sabha polls are scheduled for 2014. On JD(U) severing ties with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), he said: "It is their internal affair."
