Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the proposed grand opposition alliance is merely a "grand race" by his rivals to be the prime minister and is driven by "personal survival and power politics".
In an interview to Swarajya magazine, he said the opposition has no agenda except to remove him and that "hatred for Modi" is their "sole gluing force" as he expressed confidence that people will vote the BJP back to power in the next Lok Sabha elections.
In a swipe at the Congress, he said the main opposition party is fighting a battle for its survival ("astitva ki ladai") and is now running from pillar to post looking for allies after people rejected its "high-handedness".
Ridiculing the Rahul Gandhi-led party, the prime minister said it is now like a regional party and cannot become a cementing force or anchor for any alliance of opposition parties against him.
