Predicting the doom of the opposition 'mahagathbandhan (grand alliance)' in Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday said its "expiry date" is May 23 when leaders of the grouping will be at each others' throats.
The Samajwadi Party (SP), the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) are in an alliance in the state.
"Leaders of the SP, BSP, RLD will tear each others clothes once results of the Lok Sabha polls are out on May 23," Modi said at an election meeting near here.
The prime minister, who has been slamming the alliance as "opportunistic", said, "The expiry date of the SP-BSP-RLD alliance is May 23...evening."
