"Her party (Apna Dal-Sonelal) has contested four elections with the BJP and got good results. 2024 elections are near and the opposition is out of the race and we are going to form a government again at the Centre," Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry told PTI here.
"There is no vacancy for the post of PM. This post is for Narendra Modi," she added.
Opposition parties including Congress, Trinamool Congress, Janata Dal (United), Bharat Rashtra Samiti (earlier Telangana Rashtra Samithi) and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are at loggerheads for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has recently called for Mahagathbandhan and urged all the parties including Congress to come together to fight against BJP. He also held several meetings to strengthen the Opposition for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024. This came after JD(U) broke alliance with the BJP in Bihar and formed a new government with Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
Last year, TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee also made various attempts to strengthen the unity of the opposition parties against PM Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the 2024 General elections.
Similarly, Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao also used the same approach with few differences which remained unsuccessful. KCR ’s dreams of forging a federal front excluding the Congress and the BJP were unravelling, as most opposition parties headed for the Congress camp.
He had met a series of party bosses to push for the front, including Banerjee, Deve Gowda of Janata Dal (Secular), or JD(S), M.K. Stalin of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), Akhilesh Yadav of Samajwadi Party and Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP). However, the only leader who openly backed KCR was Reddy.
