BJP candidate and former Calcutta High Court judge, Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay, on Saturday said that he has respect for the opposition but it seems they are not very active or present in the current election race.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Monday the opposition alliance might have changed its name from UPA to INDIA but it will not be able to wash off its "sins of corruption and misgovernance".
BJP president J P Nadda charged on Sunday that opposition parties were in the process of forming an alliance to "protect" their dynastic politics and that the UPA of Congress stood for "utpidan, pakshpat and atyachar".
