Former Union Cabinet Minister and senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on Monday that “unity in depression” is the “guarantee of separation”.
While replying to reporters when asked about the Opposition parties’ meeting, Shri Naqvi said that the effort by the Congress and some other Opposition parties to stitch a “contradictory and confused” alliance is nothing but “pie in the sky”.
Naqvi said that while on one hand there is a “tried and tested” leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, on the other hand there is Congress’ “dagger of deceit”.
He said that the “Congress’ cunning character” is “power for family and creating tower of trouble for others.” Naqvi said that those regional political parties who are trying to “hold the hand of the Congress” today, should remember that the Congress has always termed the regional parties a “threat to national interests”. However, the BJP considers the regional parties “a strength for fulfilling regional aspirations while serving the national interests”.
