Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Minister for Home Affairs Narottam Mishra on Friday hit out at the Opposition meeting in Bihar saying that it is not a 'Gathbandhan' but a 'Thagbandhan' meeting.
Mishra said that the heads of each of these political parties do not like each other personally but they are meeting only to corner the BJP. "It's nothing but a show game and it will not succeed," Mishra said.
Talking to media persons in Bhopal, Mishra said that the people of the country have already accepted their leader -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said that Rahul Gandhi was instrumental in bringing together the Opposition leaders from across the country.
