Opposition Coming Together to save political existence: BJP

TIL Desk/National/Kolkata/ BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya, on Friday described Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s effort, to forge opposition unity for the presidential poll as a “fight for political existence”.

The leader claimed that many opposition parties, in fact, would openly support the BJP-led NDA candidate for the presidential poll. “The Congress, the CPI(M) and other political parties are trying to gang up against the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi after their successive defeats in various elections. They have come together to save their own political existence which is at stake,” Vijayvargiya said.

“Now they are coming together for the presidential poll. Let me tell you, this time too they will be defeated. Many from the opposition camp will come out in support of the BJP and NDA candidate for the presidential poll,” Vijayvargiya told. Gandhi had met CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury and is also slated to meet TMC supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in this regard.

“The opposition wants to project their candidate for the presidential election. It’s fine. But let me tell you their strategy will fall flat in front of Modiji. We believe in ‘Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas’. And they believe in appeasement politics,” he said.
