Rahul also said the BJP would not win the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi might lose from Varanasi as he will not be able to face a 'united' Opposition. "The BJP will not get more than five seats in UP alone. The recent bypolls in UP has already exhibited the strength of collective opposition," he added.
