BJP president Amit Shah on Sunday said the Mahagathbandhan's only agenda was to remove Prime Minister Narendra Modi from power. Calling the grand alliance a 'dhakosla' (deception), Shah urged the voters to understand that the parties who were a part of it were not serious about tackling issues like poverty, unemployment and corruption.

Shah said the grand alliance's ideology and objective was centered around ensuring Modi's defeat in the 2019 general elections. "Modi Modi Modi' He is a phobia for them,' the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief said in his address in the poll-bound state. Shah highlighted that the leaders of regional parties who were part of the alliance were defeated in their respective states by the BJP who went on to form the governments there.
