Hyderabad: BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav on Saturday said the party would fight the 2019 elections by itself to bag most Lok Sabha seats from the state and win a majority in the Assembly. He ruled out striking any alliances or seat adjustments with any political party.
Mr Madhav was addressing BJP workers as part of the nationwide campaign ‘Sankalp se Siddhi’ announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his In-dependence Day address.
Mr Madhav and Union minister Nitin Gadkari have been deputed by the BJP central committee to address the party cadre in the state.
Mr Madhav said ‘Sankalp se Siddhi’ was aimed at achieving specific objectives like eradication of corruption by 2022 and was not focused on electoral gains.
“We will see the country without corruption, without terrorism and without any bias to any single community, caste or religion,” he said.
Criticising AICC vice-president Rahul Gan-dhi for leaving for Norway, Mr Madhav said his frequent foreign trips were an indication that the Congress would not win the forthcoming state polls.
Pointing to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao extending support to Mr Modi’s initiatives on demonetisation and GST, Mr Madhav said it was a healthy sign in a demo-cracy and a good trend where an Opposition party cooperates with the Centre much before BJP CMs have reacted.
Taking on the MIM, he said the party had not “shed its communal colour”. MIM leaders always speak in support of terrorists, he alleged. He said the BJP would fight against these sections and parties supporting communal elements.
