Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday hit out at the Opposition’s INDIA bloc, saying it was an “opportunistic alliance” against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), guided by the family politics of each of its participants. Mr. Shah said the Congress, with its dynastic record and lack of direction, was no match for the BJP.
Mr. Shah launched the BJP’s campaign for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Rajasthan with a series of events in Bikaner, Udaipur and Jaipur. He addressed the meetings of the BJP’s booth-level workers and the party’s State election committee before wrapping up his day-long visit with an interaction with voters in the State capital.
The senior BJP leader called upon voters to support the BJP in Rajasthan and help it maintain its record of winning all the 25 Lok Sabha seats in the 2014 and 2019 elections. “At the national level, we have set the target of crossing the 400-mark for the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) with the BJP alone winning at least 370 seats. The victory in Rajasthan will enable us to achieve our target,” he said.
