BJP President Amit Shah on Sunday has appealed to the party workers to win over 200 seats in the upcoming assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh. While addressing a party workers convention in Hoshangabad, he said “The party can form the government with less than 200 seats, but we need to cross the 200-mark because our workers in West Bengal, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana are looking towards Madhya Pradesh,” quoted by PTI.
Shah also said the party should aim to win all the upcoming Assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh that may create a storm, which would turn into a “tsunami” in 2019. “This tsunami would cover the entire country, including West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Kerala,” Shah said.
The BJP currently has 166 legislators in Madhya Pradesh. Asking the workers to prepare for the upcoming general elections, Shah said, “The party has witnessed success due to the sacrifices of several workers and leaders in the last 50 years. We are lucky, but we also have a responsibility. After we win the 2018 Assembly elections and the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, we will have the responsibility of ensuring victory for the party from panchayat to Parliament for the next 50 years”.
Recollecting his past days as a party worker, the BJP president said that he was a booth in-charge in 1982 and that BJP is the only party where an ordinary worker could rise to the president’s post. Referring to the PM Modi’s journey, Shah reminded the party workers that “It is possible only in the BJP that a tea-seller’s son can bring glory to the country by becoming prime minister”.
Madhya Pradesh will conduct the polls on November 28 and the counting of votes will be done on December 11. You can read more information on The Article.
