New Delhi: In the build-up to the elections in five states, Prime Minister Narendra Modi exuded confidence about BJP’s win in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur on Wednesday.
He said that the party will get a “full majority” in all the contests. “I have seen in all these states an inclination towards BJP,” he was quoted as saying in an interview to news agency ANI.
“BJP believes in collective leadership. It will be a referendum on our performance, intent and conduct,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi strongly backed UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and said that the state government had not been shielding Union minister Ajay Mishra over the Lakhimpur Kheri violence. “Yogi ji has prioritised security (in UP) and improved its law and order,” the PM said.
The prime minister justified his dramatic decision to scrap the three contentious agricultural reform laws. “I had said that in my address also that I was withdrawing the three laws in the national interest. Future events will explain why doing so had become necessary,” said the PM.
