Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday used the #MeToo movement analogy to ridicule the Congress and warn parties wishing to ally with it that they should not repent later and be compelled to run a similar campaign.
All the opposition parties, which had allied with Congress, have repented their decision later, Singh claimed, as he alleged that the parties who want to form alliance against the BJP do not have any agenda associated with national interest.
"Later, let such a situation not arise that all the opposition parties form alliance and later when they face deception by Congress, they become constrained to run a 'MeToo' campaign," he said, apparently referring to the movement that has empowered women to call out those who harassed them.
"...I would like to remind all the opposition parties... Whoever has gone with Congress, it is finished, no force in the world could save it from being erased," he said.
Claiming that all political parties fear the growing influence of BJP, he said they now want to fight the polls together.
"The parties can form an alliance, however big it is, but the parties should have the right agenda," he said, after inaugurating the national convention of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of BJP, here.
"They do not have any agenda associated with national interest. They have only one agenda, 'stop Modi. They do not have any other agenda..," he said.
