Amit Shah says ‘alliances are never two plus two’
Amit Shah.
Bhartiya Janta Party chief Amit Shah, during an interview with Times of India, said, “alliances are never two plus two.”
When Shah was asked about the challenges his party is going to face in Uttar Pradesh in the upcoming Lok Sabha election because of the Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party alliance and Congress appointing Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in the state as the party’s general secretary, Shah said, “not three, but two. One party has zero seats in Lok Sabha, the other has five. The third party has two.”
He further said, “Earlier, when SP and Congress came together, there was much discussion that this is unbeatable. The results showed that BJP got more seats in UP (in 2017 assembly) than any party since Independence. If alliances directly translate into public support, no alliance would ever lose.”
He added, “The (SP-BSP) alliance itself shows they are nervous. Otherwise, why should people who can’t stand one another suddenly find virtues in each other? Alliances are never two plus two.”
