Senior BJP leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain Saturday hit out at the opposition's 'mahagathbandhan' (grand alliance) and said the BJP was led by a "leader" while the former was helmed by a "dealer".
He said the opposition's alliance comprised leaders who all wanted to become prime minister themselves.
Addressing a press conference here, Hussain said, "The mahagathbandhan is completely fake. They cannot defeat the BJP because many of them sharing the dais are aspiring to be the next PM. It is just a show of unity."
Hailing Prime Minister Modi, Hussain said, "The PM is the world's most popular leader and a visionary. The BJP has the best leader. Our opponents don't have a leader, they have a dealer."
