Combined opposition will form govt: Cong leader Veerappa Moily

A government of combined opposition parties, which consider the BJP as a "common enemy", is a "certainty" after Lok Sabha elections, senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily said Thursday.

He said the Congress prospects are "looking up very well" and it's quite evident from "desperate action, mood and statements" particularly from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and "his followers".

The former Union Minister declined to say how many seats the Congress would get in the Lok Sabha elections but said the BJP-led NDA would not get majority to form the government.

"Congress and 'other people', either pre-poll alliance or post-poll alliance, (forming government) will be a certainty," Moily told PTI.

"I don't think the BJP has any leeway to launch their comeback," he said.

On regional parties such as the TRS, YSRCP, SP, BSP, BJD and Trinamool Congress which are not aligned with the Congress-led UPA or NDA projected in some quarters to do well in the polls, he asked: "Ultimately, question is who is their common enemy?"
