Dibrugarh, April 11: Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister said on Tuesday that the BJP will win more than 300 Lok Sabha seats nationwide in the general elections of next year, giving Prime Minister Narendra Modi his third consecutive term in office.
Amit Shah, speaking at a rally in Dibrugarh where he also lay the foundation stone for a BJP office, professed confidence that the party will win 12 of the state’s 14 Lok Sabha seats.
“Narendra Modi will become the Prime Minister for the third consecutive term with the party winning over 300 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections,” he said.
“Northeast was once considered a fortress of the Congress but despite Rahul Gandhi’s yatra (Bharat Jodo Yatra), the party failed to perform well in the recent assembly elections in three states in the region,” he added.
Meghalaya, Tripura, and Nagaland just held their legislative elections. The BJP formed the government in Tripura, and came in power as alliance partners in the other two states.
Alluding to Rahul Gandhi’s controversial remarks during his visit to United Kingdom, he, said, “He (Rahul Gandhi) insulted India from foreign soil. If he continues defaming the country and the government by peddling lies, Congress will be white-washed from the entire country after being shown the door in the Northeast.”
According to Amit Shah, the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958, or AFSPA, has been repealed throughout 70% of Assam, and peace has been restored to Bodoland and Karbi Anglong.
