TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ BJP President Amit Shah has accepted the challenge of opposition parties coming together against his party for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and said it has a strong booth-level orgnaisational network and the charisma of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing party’s state incharges, state presidents and other office-bearers at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters here, Shah reviewed the organisational programmes taken up by the party and also set the tone for the next Lok Sabha elections a year before they are due.
“On Tuesday we are going to win. There is an upbeat atmosphere in the party. We are lucky to have 11 crore members, around 330 MPs and over 1,800 MLAs. We reached this stage due to organisational strength. Now, many of the parties have started following us and are running membership drive,” Shah said, according to BJP Spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain.
Citing main reasons for Congress’s downfall, Shah said: “There were two main reasons — first, their arrogance that they are in power and they will remain in power, and second, their ruining the party’s organisation. “But it (organisation) is our strength that we have reached a stage where an attempt is being made to make the 2019 general elections BJP vs all. This gives us pleasure and we like the challenge.”
