New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday took a dig at 26 opposition parties who have clubbed together to form an anti-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) front eyeing the 2024 General Elections, media reports said.

Modi commented while addressing his party MPs over the ongoing deadlock in Parliament over Manipur violence.

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad quoted Modi saying as reported by NDTV, "I have never seen such a directionless opposition."

"Indian National Congress. East India company. Indian Mujahideen. Popular Front of India - these are also INDIA. Just using the name INDIA does not mean anything," Prasad added, quoting the Prime Minister.

Modi has described the Opposition as "defeated, tired, hopeless with a single-point agenda- opposing Modi."

Modi's comments came amid the Opposition's demand for a statement of the Prime Minister in Parliament on the Manipur incident where two women were paraded naked by some men.
