New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday said he is confident that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) will get a third term.
"I have always believed that we will have a third go as UPA and the people will again repose their faith in us," the prime minister said in a tweet Monday shortly after eight new union ministers were sworn in at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
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 Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), he said: "It is their internal affair."
