Selfish alliance, targeting India, says Smriti Irani

The Patna meeting has not gone well to many parties. They criticised the meeting of leaders of 15 opposition parties. The BJP termed the meeting of the Opposition parties failed today as they only decided on when to meet next.Party leader Sushil Modi said,They had said they would fight the 2024 election together earlier. Such meetings will not affect BJP. Today, people can see PM Modi addressing the US Congress," says BJP leader Sushil Modi on the Opposition meeting.

Union Minister Smriti Irani took a swipe at the Opposition meeting in Patna, terming it as "a selfish alliance targeting India". Addressing a press conference after top Opposition leaders came together in Patna in a bid to shore up a grand alliance against the BJP at the Centre, Irani said, "Political parties, which never saw eye to eye, came together today. This selfish alliance wants to deprive India of economic development. This is an alliance of leaders who speak in different voices. TMC workers would never have thought that their leader, Mamata Banerjee, would go into a meeting, which also comprised the same Communist party whose leaders had insulted her and pulled her hair on the streets. The Congress workers would never have imagined that one day, the blood-stained hands of Mamata will be on Rahul Gandhi's head (in a manner of blessing).

Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras targeted the opposition leaders and said that opposition unity is a lie. "There is no vacancy for the post of PM in 2024. Opposition unity is a lie, it is just for photos. Lalu Yadav and Nitish Kumar fought against the Emergency imposed by Congress but now they are joining hands with them," said Union Minister Paras.
