After his failure to get an absolute majority in the recent general elections Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to be facing challenges one side from his NDA partners and other side from the asserted opposition parties, Union Home Minister Amit Shah went ahead predicting results of next general elections in 2029.
He predicted on Sunday that Narendra Modi will return as the Prime Minister of the country and the INDIA bloc will sit in the Opposition after the next general elections also. His remarks came while addressing a gathering in Chandigarh after inaugurating the 24×7 Manimajra water supply project.
“I want to assure you that whatever the opposition wants to say, you do not worry. In 2029 also, the NDA will come (to power), (Narendra) Modi ji will come,” Shah said.
In the same breath, he took a jibe at the Opposition over the increase in their seats in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 and said that it thinks it has won elections “with some success” and highlighted that the BJP has still won more seats than Congress did in the last three elections, in this election itself.
“They do not know it. NDA’s only one member, the BJP, has more than the total number of seats which their whole alliance has. These people, who want to create uncertainty, say again and again that this government will not run,” the Home Minister added.
Moreover, he took this occasion as an opportunity to give advice to the opposition bloc rather than attempting to correct deep rooted discontent prevailing among his own party leadership in a number of states. He advised the INDIA bloc to “learn to work effectively” in the Opposition.
“I want to assure the opposition friends that not only will this government complete its five-year term, the next term will also be of this government. Be ready to sit in the opposition and learn to work effectively in the opposition,” he added.
