The INDIA opposition bloc is a "temporary coalition" as its constituents are fiercely contesting the Lok Sabha polls against each other in Punjab and slinging mud at each other, while they are conveniently in an "unholy" tie-up in Chandigarh, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said here on Tuesday. "Have you ever seen such a self-serving alliance?" the BJP leader asked while referring to the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which are fighting the Lok Sabha polls in an alliance in Chandigarh but contesting the election on their own in Punjab. Dhami was addressing a public meeting in favour of Sanjay Tandon, the Bharatiya Janata Party`s (BJP) Lok Sabha poll nominee from Chandigarh.
He claimed that the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) faces ideological challenges and its "ulterior" motive is to work for the so-called main leaders` family interests and not for the common people. "Uttarakhand has become the first state to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), which has received the president`s approval. Now, the CAA will be implemented across India once the BJP government comes to power again," Dhami said. The INDIA bloc is against the CAA and has vowed to scrap it if it comes to power, he added. The BJP leader alleged that the Congress has its eyes on people`s savings and will snatch a part of it to give it to its "favourite" vote bank. He dubbed the INDIA bloc a "selfish alliance" in which everyone aspires to become the prime minister.
