Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said, "Amit Shah does not need to worry about the I-N-D-I-A alliance. He should focus on the elections in the five states. BJP is going to lose elections in the five states. I-N-D-I-A bloc leaders are capable of handling the alliance. The I-N-D-I-A alliance has been formed for the Lok Sabha elections of 2024."
He further said that meetings of the I-N-D-I-A alliance will take place again after the state assembly polls, reported ANI.
"In the states in which there are elections like Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, Congress is the number-one party. If we do not defeat the BJP in the assembly elections, how will we prepare for the Lok Sabha elections? After the completion of elections in five states, meetings of the I-N-D-I-A alliance will take place again," Sanjay Raut added.
Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday launched a stinging barb at the Opposition bloc -- I-N-D-I-A at a public meeting in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar and said that their only agenda was to oppose Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reported ANI.
"They (I-N-D-I-A) have only one agenda, which is to oppose PM Modi. When they were in power, they indulged in corruption amounting to a combined Rs 12 lakh crore. Nitish-ji joined hands with charge-sheeted leaders (RJD chief Lalu Yadav and deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav) to become chief minister. Nitish-ji dreams of becoming the PM but the I-N-D-I-A alliance has not even given him the role of a coordinator," Amit Shah had said.
Meanwhile, amid rumblings in the opposition I-N-D-I-A alliance, the Shiv Sena (UBT) on Monday said the coalition has been formed to unseat the "dictatorial regime" at the Centre while politics in states is different, reported ANI.
An editorial in the Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamana' also said the assembly polls scheduled this month in five states is a "dress rehearsal" for the Lok Sabha polls next year, reported ANI.
"It is important for the Congress to win polls to stop the misuse of power and arrogance of money. This will be crucial for the I-N-D-I-A alliance," the editorial said.
It expressed confidence that the I-N-D-I-A alliance will win the Lok Sabha polls in 2024.
