BJP CHANGED FACE, FATE OF GUJARAT, SAYS CHIEF NADDA

RAJKOT: Bharatiya Janata Party president JP Nadda has said the party is in a better position than it was in 2017 and will not only retain power in Gujarat but could well be setting a record of winning with an unprecedented mandate in the state.

While the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been making efforts to emerge as an alternative in the state where elections have traditionally been a bipolar contest between the Congress and the BJP, Nadda, in an interview to HT, said his party’s contest is against the Congress and the AAP will forfeit deposit in a majority of the 182 seats.

People support the BJP and want to bring it back to power, Nadda said, adding that it “is the only party that changed the face and fate of Gujarat”.

“The issue is development, and it is a one-way election. People have been with the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi; they still support us and want to bring back the BJP since this is the only party that changed the face and fate of Gujarat,” he said. FULL INTERVIEW
