Attacking the Opposition and the possibility of Mahagatbandhan ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav said that those voicing support for grand alliance might join Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the general elections.
Madhav, along with former Chief Ministers Akhilesh Yadav and Omar Abdullah, senior Congress leaders Sachin Pilot and Rashtriya Lok Dal's Jayant Chaudhary were a part of a panel discussion, at the launch of journalist Priya Saghal's book – The Contendors. The session was moderated by veteran journalist Vir Sanghvi.
Speaking at the launch, Madhav said:
“The Mahagathbandhan is a non-starter at the moment. It is motivated by one single agenda of hatred. That is wrong. I can say one thing – those who are saying Mahagathbandhan will defeat PM Modi, after 2019, if situation arrives, some of them will join Modi.”
