Jammu, May 04: Asserting that BJP-led NDA government can only provide stable government at the Centre, Union law minister and senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley has said that opposition parties do not have the "structured alliance" against the NDA.
"The opposition alliance is only in dreams and even there is no ideological similarity in the opposition parties," Jaitley told reporters here last evening.
The BJP general secretary, who is here to campaign for party's nominee Chaman Lal Gupta for Udhampur constituency, said there is tug of war among opposition leaders for the prime ministership.
He said some assessments of exit polls have created false hopes among opposition parties and have also exposed them in front of the people of the country.
"These exit polls have created momentary feel-good factor among the opposition parties and this will not last long as there is a greater clash among all the opposition leaders," he said.
The BJP leader said that on the one hand BJP-led NDA has cohesive alliance with an experience of six years, while the Congress and other parties neither have any alliance nor any common leader. They do not have any common minimum programme, he added.
If any alliance of opposition will be formed at the Centre, it will be like one rag-tag alliance like one in Jammu and Kashmir where the coalition partners are fighting against each other and hurling and trading charges, he said and added "there is no possibility of a Third Front."
He also criticised Congress for adopting double standards on the issue of size of ministers. "When the bill was passed in the Parliament, the Congress had supported it, but in the name of special status formed a jumbo ministry in Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
