BJP leader equates Modi with leader of the Pandavas

May 06, 2018 18:33

With the Lok Sabha elections scheduled to take place next year, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Ballia Surendra Singh equated Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the leader of the Pandavas in the political 'dharamyuddh'.

Singh said that Prime Minister Modi would play the leader of the Pandavas, while a tussle would take place to decide the leader of the Kauravas or the Opposition.

"The 2019 elections is like a political dharamyuddh, similar to the battle that took place in the Mahabharata. Modiji will lead for the Pandavas, as Lord Krishna or Arjun. However, the leader of the Kauravas could be Rahul (Gandhi), Mayawati, Lalu (Prasad) or Mayawati. I'm sure there will be an argument about this as well, as they have no leader," he said.

Ahead of the elections in Karnataka and other states, Singh claimed that those who fight for rights of people are with Prime Minister Modi, while the Opposition comprises of corrupt political leaders.

"The face of politics has now changed. All those who are honest and work for the welfare of people have sided with Modiji, while the corrupt leaders have united. People like Modiji and Yogi Adityanath have always worked for the betterment of people, and have no personal gains."

Singh further snubbed the Opposition for allegedly indulging in family politics, and expressed confidence in the BJP's victory in the 2019 general elections under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.
