28 parties are now part of NDA

April 08, 2014 20:18

BJP today claimed that the alliance led by it is increasing its fold and a total of 28 political parties from across the country are now part of NDA, while Congress and its allies are trying their best to stop Narendra Modi from coming to power.

"The common minimum programme and common agenda of Congress and its allies is to stop BJP and Modi from coming to power. They are ready to go to any extent for this," BJP Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.

Naqvi said prominent Congress leaders are "lying before the nation and giving misguided statements so as to spread a web of illusion."

"That is why they are worried and are spreading the secularism-communalism formula, which people are not accepting," he said.
