The BJP Thursday said it does not see any grand alliance taking shape against it as there are many "gaps and contradictions" among opposition parties, even as it exuded confidence of increasing its tally in Uttar Pradesh in the next Lok Sabha polls.
"The BJP's performance will be better in 2019 compared to 2014, when the party and its allies bagged a lion's share of 73 seats (of total 80 seats)," state BJP President Mahendra Nath Pandey told PTI in an interview here.
Asked about the opposition parties' attempt to form a grand alliance to take on the BJP, he said, "I don't see it taking place."
"There are many gaps and contradictions among them. Even if it (alliance) is formed, it will not last."
"We are highlighting our work at the Centre and state and above all Modiji's personality, which will be presented before the people."
Noting that the party has a lot to tell the people about the good work and projects its governments at the Centre and state have initiated, Pandey said, "We will reach out to people and inform them about these works and are confident of getting their positive response in terms of votes. No government has done such a good work till now."
