Telangana BJP chief slams opposition alliance says, no PM face

Telangana BJP President K Laxman Wednesday took a swipe at opposition parties over their proposed grand alliance, saying they were not able to decide their prime ministerial candidate. On the other hand, the BJP would go to the people seeking their mandate to bring back the "decisive leadership" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he told reporters here. There can be no comparison between the leadership of Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Modi, he claimed.

Noting that previous experiments of forming fronts at the national level had failed, he also said regional parties come together without a national perspective. Though BJP did not fare well in the December 7 assembly elections in Telangana, the outcome of the Lok Sabha polls would be different, he added.
