BJP Leaders Express Confidence Ahead of Elections

Former Telangana Governor and BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan welcomed the election schedule for the upcoming Assembly elections in four states and one Union Territory, expressing confidence that the BJP will emerge “with flying colors.” She also praised the Election Commission of India for the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in all the poll-bound states to “remove ineligible voters.”

“I thank the Government of India and the Election Commission for introducing the Cleanse List, which is significant because initially the Chief Minister opposed it, claiming that all minority votes would be removed. Today, the Election Commission has clearly stated that no ineligible voter will be allowed and no eligible voter will be omitted. This is great news for all voters as we go to the people,” she said.

“Because I always say, the dead souls will rest peacefully in heaven and not be disturbed by the DMK, which has always maintained fake voter numbers. This time, we are moving forward with a cleansed voter list. We have enough time, and with anti-incumbency factors present, we are very hopeful of coming out with flying colors,” she added.

Speaking to reporters, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that based on estimates from various regions, the people of India will give the BJP and NDA a landslide victory in this election. “Based on estimates from various places, the people of India will give the BJP and NDA a landslide victory in this election. Prime Minister Modi’s rally at Brigade Ground in West Bengal yesterday was a historic event, with lakhs of people gathering there. He raised awareness among the people about Mamata’s ruthless governance. I am fully confident that the NDA government will win with a large majority in all five states and Union Territories, including Puducherry, West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Assam,” Goyal said.
