New Delhi: Two months after Narendra Modi won a record-equalling third straight term as India’s Prime Minister, albeit with some help from National Democratic Alliance (NDA) allies like Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) and Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party, Union Home minister Amit Shah predicted on Sunday that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led alliance will win the 2029 Lok Sabha elections too.
“I assure you that let the Opposition do whatever it wants to do, in 2029 NDA will come to power (again), Modi ji will come. They (Opposition) don’t know that BJP has won more seats in this (2024) election than the number of seats Congress got in last three elections,” Shah said while inaugurating the water supply project Nyay Setu.
“These people who want to spread instability, repeatedly say that this government is not going to last. I have come to assure them that not only will the government complete its term, but the next government will be of NDA and be ready to sit in the Opposition and learn the way of working in the Opposition properly,” ANI quoted Shah as saying.
BJP fell short of a majority of its own by bagging 240 seats in 2024 elections, well short of its 2019 tally of 303.
The NDA, however, crossed the majority mark with a tally of 203.
The Opposition INDIA bloc captured 230 seats, with Congress getting 99 – well above its 2019 score of 52.
