"The Opposition parties can come 'paas-paas' (close to each other) but not 'saath-saath' (together)," the Prime Minister said.
At the grand meeting, the Prime Minister said, "Everyone knows India will face elections next year and countries think twice before signing deals with nations that are slated to go to polls but India's case is different and the US, Australia, France, and UAE are signing long-term deals with India."
