Lucknow/Kanpur: Mocking opposition parties for not naming a joint prime ministerial candidate, BJP president Amit Shah on Wednesday said there will be a different PM every day of the week if their grand alliance comes to power.
Shah addressed booth-level workers in Lucknow and Kanpur, putting them in election mode in crucial Uttar Pradesh ahead of the Lok Sabha polls just months away.
He reiterated that the party was committed to the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya and accused lawyers with Congress links of creating obstacles to an early verdict by the Supreme Court in the land dispute. He also took a dig at the induction of Congress president Rahul Gandhi's sister Priyanka Gandhi as the general secretary in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, recalling the 2G scam' during the previous government's term and saying that a third G has now arrived on the scene.
Shah said the opposition parties trying to form a grand alliance should name their prime ministerial candidate for the coming elections.
"If the 'gathbandhan' (alliance) takes shape, Mayawati will be the prime minister on Monday, Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday, Mamata (Banerjee) on Wednesday, Sharad Pawar on Thursday, Deve Gowda on Friday and (M K) Stalin on Saturday, and Sunday will be a holiday," he told party workers in Kanpur, making a similar remark later in Lucknow.
"They are out to bring change and do not have a leader," the Bharatiya Janata Party chief mocked.
He took a dig at the mahagathbandhan , saying the alliance being formed was such that the leaders of different parties in it were reluctant to share the dais.
They have united because of fear of the BJP. And this indicates the BJP's strength," he said.
