BJP will get more seats than in 2014: PM Modi
NEW DELHI, April 20, 2019: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the BJP will win the Lok Sabha elections with full majority, and with more votes and seats than in 2014.
"BJP will win with full majority and with more votes and seats than we won earlier. Even our alliance partners will get greater number of seats and our vote share will increase in different states The country has decided to elect a strong government with full majority. The country has decided to elect BJP again," he said in an interview with Times Now news channel.
Modi referred to an old brainstorming meeting of the Congress and said unlike the opposition party which had said they do not need allies, the BJP is not arrogant.
Modi said more than 80 per cent of informal economy and informal employment exists. Only 15-16 per cent is formal for which new mechanism is needed to arrive at employment data.
He also rejected allegations of political vendetta by the opposition.
"The biggest fact is that the money that was recovered in Madhya Pradesh was meant for the care and nutrition of children, which was for poor pregnant women. They are eating off those funds.
The country must debate on why even today the Congress dares to commit such sins as soon as they come to power. It's barely been a few months since they came to power in Madhya Pradesh. And to stifle debates on these issues, they keep crying foul over the raids," the Prime Minister said.
He said that the government has brought the corrupt to the door of jails and will work to get them inside if he comes to power again.
Attacking Congress, he said many of its leaders were facing cases.
"Congress, which has ruled for four generations, could they have ever fathomed that today their leaders would be out on bail. The man who used to be their finance minister, every second day he goes to the court to get a date," he said.
Modi said the government had succeeded in bringing back several offenders .
