"If It's PM Modi vs Arvind Kejriwal Or Rahul Gandhi In 2024...": Asaduddin Owaisi

"If a single opposition face fights against BJP, the latter will benefit," Asaduddin Owaisi said.

All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has said the BJP will have a clear edge over the Opposition forces in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections if a particular face is pitted against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In the latest episode of 'Podcast with Smita Prakash', the AIMIM chief said the Opposition needs to galvanise in each Lok Sabha constituency to defeat the BJP.

Mr Owaisi said, "The Opposition should look to put up a tough fight for all the 540 parliamentary constituencies. If a single opposition face fights against BJP, the latter will benefit. If it's Modi versus (Arvind) Kejriwal or Rahul Gandhi, the PM would be at an advantage."

In 2019, the Opposition had formed a grand alliance in a bid to unseat the Modi government. However, the alliance did not succeed in its objective and eventually fell apart.
