New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chaddha Tuesday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is so scared by the Opposition front ‘I.N.D.I.A.’ that the latter is summoning all allies after 9 years.
Chadha alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was so ignorant throughout its tenure in the Centre that they never cared for political outifts associated with it.
He said parties like Shiromani Akali Dal, Janata Dal (United) and a few more seperated from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) during these years but the party never addressed the matter in a round-table conference.
“Central government failed on every front. No meeting of NDA was called in the last 9 years but they called it yesterday. BJP used to say ‘Ek akela sab par bhaari’ but they are not saying this now. Now this election has become NDA vs INDIA and INDIA will win,” said Raghav Chadha.
