Anti-Modi Agenda Alone Won't Sustain Opposition Front: Congress Leader Veerappa Moily

Former Union Minister M Veerappa Moily also warned that such a front will not take off if parties debate on which leader or political outfit should lead it at this stage itself.

An anti-Narendra Modi agenda alone will not help sustain an opposition front to take on the BJP, senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily cautioned on Thursday, calling for drawing up a common minimum programme for parties to work together. The former Union Minister also warned that such a front will not take off if parties debate on which leader or political outfit should lead it at this stage itself. "They (opposition parties) should not bother about leadership now," Mr Moily told PTI. "If they start debating as to who should become its leader, which political party should lead, it will not take off," the former Karnataka Chief Minister said.
