Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has expressed confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) chances in the ongoing assembly elections in five states. Speaking to ANI on Tuesday, the senior BJP leader said, "We are confident of winning at least three out of five states. In Mizoram, our numbers will increase and we will also score well in the Telangana elections."
Assembly polls in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram are underway. Elections in Mizoram have already taken place on November 7, and the first phase of Chhattisgarh polls was conducted on the same date. Madhya Pradesh will vote on November 17, and the second phase of Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan will vote on November 25 and 30 respectively.
The BJP is currently in power in Madhya Pradesh and seeking a second term. The party is also looking to overthrow the Congress governments in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. Gadkari noted that the BJP won one seat in Telangana and Mizoram, and expressed confidence that the party will win in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He said, "I believe that we will win the coming Lok Sabha elections also. We have brought development in the last ten years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and people have now come to believe that if any party has the capability to change the fate and future of the country, it is the BJP."
Speaking about the elections in Madhya Pradesh, which will vote on Friday, Gadkari said the BJP has done good work under the leadership of Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said, "Our party has done good work in the last 20 years under the leadership of Shivraj Singh Chouhan and under the leadership of Modi. The double engine of the combined government is doing good development work. That is why our victory in Madhya Pradesh is certain."
Gadkari also took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi, without commenting on his statement that there would be a 'toofan' of the Congress party in Madhya Pradesh. He said, "He has the right to speak whatever he wants to. I will not comment on what he said. I believe that we will win the elections by gaining the trust of the people and the positive work we have done."
On the formation of the INDIA bloc, the Union Minister said that alliances are formed when the opposition party becomes weak. He said, "I believe that when the opposition party becomes weak, an alliance is formed. It is the result of our increasing strength. The opposition parties have huddled together to form an alliance with the Congress party at the centre, to take on the BJP ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls."
Moreover, Gadkari recently sanctioned projects worth ₹600 crore in Vasai-Virar. These projects include the construction of road infrastructure and the improvement of existing infrastructure.
