Even united oppn won’t be able to stop BJP, says Shah
UP will be the reason behind formation of BJP govt at the Centre, party’s tally to go up to at least 74, claims BJP chief
AGRA: BJP national president Amit Shah claimed that his party would get more seats in UP in 2019 than what it got in 2014, even if the opposition came together. He said opposition parties were unable to face the BJP on their own and uniting only to remove Narendra Modi.
“This time again, UP would be the reason behind the formation of BJP government at the Centre. The party’s tally would go up to at least 74 (it got 73 last time) and would not reduce even if the opposition parties unite,” stated Shah.
“Opposition parties might unite and become friends but they would not be in a position to stop the BJP that would have residents of UP on their side,” stated Shah while addressing a gathering of intellectuals at Sur Sadan auditorium in Agra on Thursday.
Shah urged intellectuals to question the opposition parties as to why they were getting together without any common ideology. He applauded the Modi and Yogi regimes for their work, saying this would fetch good results this time again.
“The masses in UP would not vote for corrupt and those practicing parivarwad,” he added.
“How can voters trust those who were more worried about their bungalows,” said Shah in a veiled attack on opposition leaders including Akhilesh Yadav.
He also took potshots at Rahul Gandhi, saying he had no trust in judiciary, army and parliament.
“The opposition parties are uniting only because they are unable to defeat us on their own. Our party workers would foil every unholy alliance by opposition parties,” said Shah who made it clear that he was here for the preparation of 2019 elections. Shah praised the Yogi Adityanath government for throwing criminals out of UP and shutting illegal slaughter houses in the state.
UP BJP president Mahendra Nath Pandey and deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma and other leaders were present on the occasion.
The opposition parties are uniting only because they are unable to defeat us on their own. Our party workers would foil every unholy alliance by opposition parties... they might become friends but they would not be in a position to stop the BJP
