In response to a media query regarding the likelihood of BJP not surpassing the halfway mark in the Lok Sabha, union home minister Amit Shah stated on Friday that he did not foresee that scenario. He emphasized that the BJP did not require a backup plan.
When questioned about the BJP’s strategy if it secures fewer than 272 seats in the Lok Sabha elections, Amit Shah confidently stated, “I do not anticipate such circumstances. A massive army of 60 crore beneficiaries are firmly supporting PM Modi, transcending caste and age barriers…Those who have benefited from these initiatives understand who Narendra Modi is and why he deserves 400 seats.”
During an interview with ANI, Amit Shah reiterated that the party’s primary strategy will be successful in the event that they do not achieve the majority mark.
“Contingency plans are only necessary when there is less than a 60% chance of success for the primary strategy. I am confident that PM Modi will secure a resounding victory,” he further stated.
Amit Shah emphasized that PM Modi is a strong advocate for reservations for SC, ST, and OBC communities. In response to the BJP’s accusation of the Congress party attempting to create a division between North and South India, Shah confidently stated that the BJP will emerge as the largest party in the combined states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka.
He expressed his objection to anyone suggesting the division of the country and criticized the Congress party for not distancing itself from such statements. Shah urged the people of the nation to consider the Congress party’s agenda and highlighted the BJP’s potential to secure a significant victory in the upcoming elections in the aforementioned states.
Amit Shah emphasized the necessity of securing over 400 seats in order to establish political stability in the country. He highlighted the BJP’s objectives of safeguarding borders, elevating India to the third-largest economy globally, and prioritizing the welfare of the underprivileged with a significant presence in the Lok Sabha.
The Congress alleges that the BJP aims to alter the Constitution by achieving more than 400 seats. Conversely, the BJP accuses the Congress of planning to reallocate reservation benefits from SCs, STs, and OBCs to the Muslim community.
