“UPA and Opposition parties alliance is Bhanumati ka Kunbha’s, ‘Kahi ki eet, kahi ka rodha, Bhanumati ne kunba joda (Somewhere a brick, somewhere an obstacle, Bhanumati added the family),” JP Nadda said addressing a press conference in the national capital. He further said it is an alliance based on selfish interests and is only for photo opportunities.
“UPA neither has a leader nor does it has the power to take decisions. It is an alliance based on selfish interests and is only for photo opportunities. It is 10 years of corrupt governance and non-governance of the UPA government,” the BJP chief said.
“National Democratic Alliance is an ideal alliance meant to serve and strengthen the country,” he added.
The Opposition parties are meeting for the second time to formulate the roadmap for the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections with the aim of defeating the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
The meeting is to take place on Monday and Tuesday at Taj West End Hotel in Bengaluru.
