Union Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday termed "mahagathbandhans" in India as tried, tested and failed ideas, saying if such an alliance is formed again, then 2019 will be a contest between a stable government led by a strong leader and an "anarchic combination".

Expressing confidence about the BJP's win in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, he said this is not a time for India to test an anarchic kind of combination when it is on the growth path.
