BJP will win 15 Lok Sabha, 75 assembly seats in Odisha: Amit Shah
18-May-2024Shah said that Odisha has lost 24 years under Patnaik.
Union Minister Amit Shah on Friday (May 17) said that this time there will be a double change in Odisha, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win over 15 Lok Sabha and 75 Assembly seats in the state.
Addressing an election rally in Rourkela city, Shah said the 2024 election is an election to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister for the third time and start a new chapter in Odisha by ousting chief minister Naveen Patnaik and the Biju Janata Dal.
“Double change is going to take place in Odisha. With more than 15 MPs and 75 MLAs, Odisha is about to turn saffron”, Shah said.
He further said that “If the state needs to develop, the people here should vote for the double-engine government under PM Narendra Modi’s leadership.”
Shah said that Odisha has lost 24 years under Patnaik. “The Western part of Odisha has been meted out with step-motherly treatment by the Odisha government. Today, 27 lakh (2.7 million) families do not have pucca houses, 26 lakh (2.6 million) houses do not have piped drinking water facilities, 6,412 villages lack proper roads and farmers’ incomes are much lower”, Shah said, adding that If voted to power, the BJP, to help farmers of the state, will procure paddy at Rs. 3,100.
