New Delhi: Asserting that the proposed “grand Opposition alliance” is merely a “grand race” by his rivals to be the Prime Minister and is driven by the agenda of “personal survival”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the Opposition’s only goal was to remove him. In an interview to Swarajya, Mr Modi said that “hatred for Modi” is the “sole gluing force”. The Prime Minister expressed confidence that people will vote the BJP back to power in the next Lok Sabha elections.
The Prime Minister went on to say that he is “not a Shahenshah or an imperious ruler” unaffected by the warmth of the people. He said he gained strength from his interactions with the public. Making fun of the Congress, he said that the Rahul Gandhi-led Party was now just a regional party and cannot act as the cementing force or anchor for any alliance of Opposition parties against him.
Mr Modi said that the next election would be a choice between governance and development on one side and chaos on the other. “In any election, a non-ideological and opportunist coalition is the best guarantee for chaos,” he said.
