Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in a blog post said the 2019 elections will be PM Narendra Modi versus Chaos. "Will 2019 be a replica of 1971? It is Modi versus an unviable and unworkable short-lived combination," he wrote. "India’s opposition has two-fold strategy, firstly, negative anti-Modi agenda and secondly, to combine...political groups...to take advantage of electoral arithmetic," he added.
