BJP will win all 5 states: Nadda after poll-date announcement
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President JP Nadda has said that his party will sweep the upcoming assembly elections in all five states. His statement came as the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced poll dates for Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Mizoram. In a social media post, Nadda asserted that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the BJP will secure a significant majority in each state and work diligently to fulfill the people's aspirations over the next five years.
Why does this story matter?
Among the poll-bound states, the BJP currently governs Madhya Pradesh and is in coalition with the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) in Mizoram. In Telangana, the BJP aims to make significant gains and challenge the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). At present, the BJP reportedly has one seat in Mizoram, 70 in Rajasthan, 14 in Chhatisgarh, 128 in Madhya Pradesh, and three in Telangana. Nadda has claimed that the BJP will now see "a big majority" under PM Modi's leadership.
