Will BJP make 27 Lok Sabha Seats In Madhya Pradesh?

NEW DELHI: Don’t think ”mama” has become weak, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who lost power in the recent assembly elections, said on Sunday and claimed the BJP will definitely make its mark and win at least 27 out of the 29 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

Congress may have formed government in the state but it could fall “anytime as it lacks majority”, Mr Chouhan, who is also called ”mama” or uncle, said at ”Yuva Vijay Sankalp Maharally” of Delhi BJP’s Yuva Morcha.

Hitting out at Congress government in Madhya Pradesh, Mr Chouhan claimed BJP could also have formed a “lame” government too but it decided it would do so only with a grand majority.

Mr Chouhan also mocked the gathering of opposition leaders at Saturday’s Kolkata rally as “bhanumati ka kunaba” (marriage of convenience), saying there was no unanimity over a common leader among the parties planning the ”mahagathbandhan”.

” The ”Yuva Vijay Sankalp Maharally” was considered the fifth of a series of big rallies held by the Delhi BJP in the last two months, ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

However, the event didn’t see a whelming attendance. Delhi BJP Chief politician Manoj Tiwari warned from the stage that it would be investigated who the persons were leaving the venue during speeches of the leaders.

Delhi BJP Yuva Morcha president Sunil Yadav claimed the event was actually attended by over 20,000 persons.

“People were coming and going but the chairs were full,” he said.
