Palakkad, Feb 22: BJP president Amit Shah Friday took potshots and attacked the proposed “Mahagathbandhan” of opposition parties and said if it comes to power, there will be a new prime minister on each day of the week.
Addressing party workers, Shah said the ‘grand alliance’ was not good for the country. The mahagathbandhan was just a “front of the corrupt people to grab power” and does not have any ideology, leader or programme, Shah, who was in Palakkad to review his party’s poll preparedness for the Lok Sabha elections, said.
Taking potshots at the proposed opposition front, Shah said every day of the week, there would be a new Prime Minister, if they came to power. “I will tell you who will become the Prime Minister if the Opposition comes to power. On Monday, Akhilesh Yadav will be the Prime Minister, on Tuesday it will be Mayawati.
Wednesday will be for Chandrababu Naidu and Thursday for Deve Gowda and Mamata Banerjee will the Prime Minister on Friday. On Saturday it will be DMK leader M K Stalin. On Sunday, since it is a holiday, there will no Prime Minister,” Shah said.
He said the 2019 election was important for the BJP as it would return to power, and expressed hope that there would be MPs from Kerala to be part of the central government. “This poll is important to the country as well. Rahul Gandhi was eager to form a Mahagathbandhan. This is not good for the country. This Mahagathbandhan doesn’t have any ideology, leader or programme.
This is just a front of the corrupt to grab power,” Shah said. Do the people need a “leader or a dealer?” he asked. “The Opposition just has dealers, but BJP has got a leader.Narendra Modi, one who can lead this country,” he said.
Claiming that the Prime Minister was a workaholic and puts in 18 hours of work each day for the country, Shah said there was no corruption allegation against Modi. “He is the most popular and respected leader of the world. He is working hard to make the country a world leader, Shah said.
Shah also attacked the ruling CPI(M)-led LDF in Kerala and the UDF opposition spearheaded by the Congress. “When the LDF comes to power, there is violence and during UDF regime there is corruption and both fronts help cover each other’s mistakes.
But if the BJP-led NDA comes to power all the corrupt will be put behind bars,” he said. Attacking the left government, he said the “Communist party has become extinct in the world. That’s the situation of the Congress party in the country. NDA is planning big win in the state,” Shah said.
