Narendra Modi 

PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the Grand Alliance is solely driven by an agenda to remove him and dismissed it as a "grand race" by his rivals to be the Prime Minister.

"Hatred for Modi is the sole gluing force for the Opposition," he said in an interview to Swarajya Magazine.

In the 2nd part of my interview with @SwarajyaMag, I answered questions on the 2019 polls, role of NDA, situation in Maoist-affected areas, Northeast, Jammu and Kashmir, the case for simultaneous elections and more. Do read. https://t.co/0aS5JBDJVT

The PM opined that the chances of Grand Alliance's survival are bleak as it misses the crucial element of an "anchoring party" required to cement an alliance.

Taking a swipe at the Congress, the Prime Minister said that the main opposition party is fighting a battle for its survival — "astitva ki ladai".
