Days after electing to the 17th Lok Sabha with a heavy margin, Bharatiya Janata Party Stalwart and Union Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday visited his parliamentary constituency, Lucknow, where he lauded the BJP and said the big victory is more significant keeping in minds that there was an alliance with Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in the state.
Speaking in the event in the State’s Capital, Singh said, ‘We have BSP-SP forged an alliance, all the senior leaders used to say that the BJP would only get 15-20 seats unlike 72. But to surprised everyone, there was no anti-incumbency rather a pro-incumbency wave across the state’.
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajnath Singh said, ‘PM Modi wants to fulfill the basic needs of the common people’. He added that just a month old government has already started in the mega projects.
Addressing in the event, he also used the opportunity to praise the soldiers and the armed forces for enhancing the pride of the nation.
Rajnath Singh said, ‘Our Soldiers carried out surgical strikes and after that the Balakot Air Strikes, all that gives a strong message that India is strong, and not weak’.
In the recently held national polls, Rajnath Singh defeated Poonam Sinha of Samajwadi Party from Lucknow Lok Sabha Seat.
While in the entire state of Uttar Pradesh, BJP bagged 62 seats and with its ally Apna Dal (Sonelal) it took its tally to 64 seats out of the 80 Lok Sabha Seat. While Mahagathbandhan bagged 15 seats – BSP 10 and SP 5 – while Congress only managed to retain its bastion Rae Bareli.
