SOON after the meeting between West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the BJP slammed the opposition’s unity and said these parties don’t have any leader of the opposition and policies for the next Lok Sabha election.
The BJP also said that opposition parties want to fight the Lok Sabha elections with the mantra of ‘Modi hatao’ and they will not get any public support.
“Is Nitish Kumar doing anything for Bihar as the CM? He met Mamata Banerjee. Mamata Banerjee met Arvind Kejriwal. Arvind Kejriwal met Sharad Pawar. The Opposition can carry on with this series of meetings. But who is the leader of the Opposition? What are its policies? What are they thinking for the country? There is no discussion on this”,
"If the Opposition wants to fight the 2024 elections only with the basic mantra of "Modi hatao", naturally they won't get public support", BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya told news agency ANI.
“The country is emerging as an economic superpower, and at such a time the Opposition has neither a leader nor intentions or policy. Why will the people support them?” Malviya further added.
His statement came following a meeting between Nitish Kumar, Mamata Banerjee, and Tejashwi Yadav in Kolkata to build a united opposition against the powerful Modi-Shah duo.
“I have made just one request to Nitish Kumar. Jayaprakash ji's movement started from Bihar. If we have an all-party meeting in Bihar, we can then decide where we have to go next. But first of all, we have to give a message that we are united. I have said earlier too that I have no objections. I want BJP to become zero. They have become a big hero with media's support and lies",Mamata Banerjee said.
“It was a very positive discussion... Opposition parties need to sit together and strategise”, Nitish Kumar said after the meeting.
