We have been saying that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh should be merged. If the Berlin wall can be demolished, then why can’t India, Pakistan and Bangladesh come together? If BJP wishes to merge these three countries and make a single country, we definitely will welcome it.

There are still 15 months left for the BMC election. Every party has the right to work for their party, and every party is doing so. We are also strengthening our party. We would want that those who are running the government all three parties should contest polls together.
