Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Friday criticised the Opposition’s objection to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 45-hour meditation in Kanniyakumari, saying if the Opposition parties are unaware of the Hindu meditation tradition, they should not try to disrupt others’ meditation.
Addressing a press conference in Bhopal along with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader VD Sharma, he claimed that Modi’s “tsunami” has destroyed the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and that the BJP will then, as usual, blame the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and district magistrates (DMs).
The prime minister asserted that the BJP will definitely cross 400 seats in the general elections. “Whatever Mr Modi said in the past has come true. In 2014 he predicted majority and we achieved it. In 2019, Mr Modi said 300 plus seats and the BJP achieved it. Similarly, this time he has said 400 plus seats and this will also be achieved,” the prime minister asserted.
He said the Congress did not have the courage to fight the elections. Dr Yadav questioned why Rahul Gandhi fled from Amethi and contested from two seats. “Rahul Gandhi was scared of losing so he fled to other seats,” Dr Yadav asserted.
Referring to Rahul Gandhi challenging PM Modi to a debate, the Congress leader said a debate can only take place with an equal and deserving opponent.
Dr Yadav accused the BJP of constantly criticising and questioning Hindu traditions.
Dr Yadav blamed Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for the low morale of the Congress party members and leaders, claiming that while the Bharatiya Janata Party has a third generation leader, the Congress remains firmly rooted in a family-only leadership.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader VD Sharma has asserted that his party will win all 29 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh. He said the party will get 68 percent of the votes in the state.
He claimed that the BJP will achieve its target of increasing its vote share by 10 per cent in Madhya Pradesh and the saffron party will register victory in at least 80 per cent of the polling booths in the state.
