Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh said on Monday that the United Progressive Alliance government was the strangest kind of coalition the country has ever had. All its members are running in different directions, 'but are somehow held together by BJP-phobia', Singh said.

"Yeh milijuli sarkar nahin hai, balki milibhagat ki sarkar hai (it is not a coalition government but a government of conspiracy)," he said, speaking in the Rajya Sabha.

The UPA has changed the definition of coalition government and strangest behaviour was that of the Left, he said.

"There were no permanent allies and enemies in politics but the left leaders had disproved this by behaving as both permanent friends and enemies of the government," Singh said.

Their opposition or support to the government was not based on any principles but on the fear of the BJP coming back to power. "The ruling alliance is being driven forward by BJP phobia," he added.
