Taking a jibe at the scheduled meeting of opposition parties in New Delhi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya said that they should first declare a prime ministerial candidate before thinking of ousting the Narendra Modi government.
Notably, top opposition leaders will meet in New Delhi today, to discuss forging a grand alliance to take on BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Talking to the reporters, Kailash Vijayvargiya said, “It’s really good to see opposition parties trying to forge an alliance to fight against us. But, first let them declare their prime ministerial candidate, then they should dream of fighting against us and ousting us.” “We have Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is their PM candidate?” he added.
Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee left for New Delhi to take part in the meeting. Taking a dig at the CM Mamata Banerjee, senior BJP leader Mukul Roy said, “When the TMC was born in 1998, Mamata Banerjee and her party used to say both the Congress and the CPI(M) are political opponents.”
“The TMC throughout its 20-year history has termed the CPI(M) as its number one political opponent. So, now it should clarify whether the two have become friends,” he added.
