NEW DELHI: Bhartiya Janata Party President Amit Shah on Saturday dismissed the "mahagathbandhan" (grand alliance) that the Congress is trying to stitch up against his party as an alliance of lies and falsehoods that can never succeed.

In his opening remarks in the presidential address to the two-day BJP national executive at the newly built Ambedkar International Centre at Janpath here, he said the Opposition is in a denial mode and trying to create obstacles in the progress of the country in their machinations to prevent Prime Minister Modi's continuance in power. They tried to stage a no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha but they didn't succeed, he said.

Quoting his address at the closed-door executive meeting, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told a press conference that Shah exuded confidence that the BJP will win the next Lok Sabha election with a bigger mandate than 2014. He said people will vote for the BJP as the choice before them is to support the government committed to work towards "Make in India" or vote for the Congress that is engaged in "breaking India."
