BJP set to form govt in Gujarat under leadership of CM Bhupendra Patel, says Union home minister Amit Shah

GANDHINAGAR: Saying that the BJP will form the government in Gujarat under the leadership of CM Bhupendra Patel after the assembly elections later this year, Union home and cooperation minister Amit Shah asserted that "dream sellers" will not win in the state.

Speaking virtually on the commemoration of Bhupendra Patel completing one year in office as CM, Shah said the BJP will again form government with a two-thirds majority and hailed the leadership of CM Bhupendra Patel.

"I want to tell Bhupendrabhai that the people of Gujarat are with the BJP. I can see clearly that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and you, the BJP will once again form a government with a two-thirds majority in the upcoming elections," Shah said.

Shah took a veiled swipe at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and saying people who "sell dreams" will never win in Gujarat. "People who sell dreams will never get electoral success in Gujarat. I know the people of Gujarat.

Those in the business of selling dreams can never get success in Gujarat because the people support only those who believe in doing work. That is why people remain by the BJP's side.

The BJP is on its way to achieving a thumping victory," Shah said while addressing the function held in Gandhinagar.

A number of development works worth Rs 1,119 crore were also unveiled to mark the occasion.
