There were two alliances in the country, “one under (Congress chief) Rahul Gandhi and a gathbandhan which has no leader,” Shah said. “Under BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, the NDA’s strong alliance is ready to lead the nation,” for a second term after the Lok Sabha polls, he added. Detailing various government initiatives taken by the Centre for Tamil Nadu’s growth, Shah said his party would face the coming polls from as part of a “strong” alliance.
