Varanasi,Fresh from BJP's massive electoral victory in the Lok Sabha polls, Narendra Modi today had a dig at the Opposition saying parties outside the ruling coalition may have to stitch an alliance to formally attain the status of an Opposition.
Addressing a
large gathering on the banks of Ganga during his first visit to this ancient
temple town after winning the Varanasi seat by a huge margin of 3.7 lakh votes,
he said, "So far, the country has always been ruled either by the Congress
or, except for the period under (Atal) Vajpayee's rule, by loose coalitions
headed by people formerly associated with the Congress.""This
election marks a new beginning even on that count," Modi said in his
nearly 30-minute-speech at the Dashashwamedh Ghat."The people of the
country have given a tight slap to all those parties which are not with the
NDA. Now all these parties may end up forming an alliance just to attain the
status of a formally recognisable opposition," he said.
The main
Opposition party must hold at least 1/10th of the total Lok Sabha seats.
Congress suffered its worst electoral defeat bagging just 44 seats."This
is a turning point in the country's history as for the first time the
leadership is going to fall in the hands of a generation which was born in the
post-Independence era," Modi said.
