Opposition leader Sharad Yadav said on Sunday, 18 November, that the BJP’s hope to return to power at the Centre will be buried in the same states — Uttar Pradesh and Bihar — which had propelled it to a big win in 2014. He also asserted that the Congress will trump the saffron party in all the five poll-bound states.
The results of the assembly polls, including BJP-ruled Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, will lay the foundation for the Lok Sabha elections next year, he told PTI in an interview.
People want to get rid of the Narendra Modi-led government as it has not fulfilled a single promise made to them 2014, Yadav claimed.
Accusing Prime Minister Modi of resorting to “sentimental” ploys like raking up his tea-seller background while his party colleagues talk of building Ram temple in Ayodhya, the Loktantrik Janta Dal leader said this shows the BJP has nothing to talk about its government’s achievements.
