Patna : Senior Bihar BJP leaders including Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on May 27, 2018, predicted that the party under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi would remain unstoppable in 2019 Lok Sabha elections and the NDA would bag all 40 the Lok Sabha seats in the state.
At a meeting of ‘Prabuddh Nagarik Sammelan’ (distinguished citizens) organised here to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the BJP government at the centre, the BJP leaders rubbished opposition parties’ move to put up a united fight against the ruling NDA by terming them a group of tired and rejected people. “Tired and rejected people can’t stop the caravan of Narendra Modi,” Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
Prasad also flayed Congress President Rahul Gandhi for having raked up the death of special CBI judge B H Loya, who was hearing the high-profile Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, wherein BJP president Amit Shah had been booked and later discharged. “Rahul Gandhi spoke, at a public meeting, about an issue which the apex court had already decided,” Prasad said.
Prasad, who also holds the Electronics and Information Technology portfolio, spoke about the BJP government’s achievements and claimed that India attracted “biggest investments in the last four years” while the IMF and the World Bank have been raving about 7.5 per cent GDP growth of India.
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi mocked the opposition parties’ attempt to forge an alliance saying the dejected and disappointed lot including those who reckon themselves as grassroot leaders have come together fearing Narendra Modi.
Others who spoke on the occasion were Union minister Ram Kripal Yadav, Bihar BJP chief Nityanand Rai and state ministers Mangal Pandey and Nand Kishore Yadav.
