Amit Shah Expresses Confidence in BJP’s Re-election in MP with Over 150 Seats:
Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his confidence on Tuesday that the BJP would secure more than 150 seats and retain power in Madhya Pradesh in the upcoming assembly elections scheduled for the end of the year.
Launching the BJP’s ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra,’ a large-scale mass-contact program, in Madhya Pradesh’s Mahakaushal region starting from Mandla, Shah stated that the campaign aims to seek the blessings of the people for the government’s development efforts in the state in preparation for the upcoming assembly polls.
Five such yatras, or journeys, were initiated from five different locations in the state in anticipation of the November assembly elections. All five yatras will conclude in Bhopal on September 25, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address party workers.
Amit Shah emphasized that the ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ would serve as the foundation for the BJP to secure over 150 out of the total 230 assembly seats in the state.
He mentioned that Madhya Pradesh had historically been considered a ‘BIMARU’ (laggard) state due to the previous Congress regime. However, the BJP, particularly under the leadership of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, has transformed the state into an ‘unmatched’ one over the past four decades, Shah added. He commended Chouhan for his efforts in tribal development and cited Madhya Pradesh as the first state to implement the Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA) Act in 1996.
Amit Shah criticized Congress veterans Digvijay Singh and Kamal Nath, accusing them of neglecting the state when they held the position of Chief Minister in Madhya Pradesh. He highlighted the discontinuation of 53 Central welfare schemes during Kamal Nath’s tenure in 2018.
Shah also criticized the Congress for its minority appeasement policy, noting the change in approach since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014. He emphasized the Modi government’s focus on the welfare of tribals, Dalits, the poor, and backward classes who have rights to the country’s natural resources.
In a public rally, Shah encouraged the people to make a choice between the two ideologies, highlighting the significant increase in allocations for tribal welfare under the current central government compared to the previous Congress regime.
