Grand alliance a tried, tested and rejected idea: Jaitley
Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that the grand alliance of Opposition parties to take on the BJP is "a tried, tested and rejected idea". He added that 2019 elections are purely a referendum on one issue "and that is, do we want [Narendra] Modi back [as Prime Minister]". He said, "The Mahagathbandhan is an idea that scares India."
