Senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan Sunday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was adopting various strategies to prevent opposition parties from forming the 'Mahagathbandhan' (grand alliance) even as the Telangana BJP rejected it.

Noting that next general elections were crucial for the Congress, Chavan told reporters here that lot of people are coming together on a common platform to protect the Constitution and democracy.

Alleging that Modi was adopting various strategies to ensure that 'Mahagathbandhan' does not materialise, Chavan said, "Modi's strategy for winning elections will be religious polarisation, massive use of money, and using tactics to make sure that our alliance doesn't materialise."
"They think they can win by this... their (electoral) promises.. nothing happened and now (they say) build a temple."
To another query, Chavan said 'unfortunately' under Modi's rule all institutions of democracy have been 'subverted.'
