Amit Shah’s Bold ‘Prediction’ For 2029

Taking a jibe at the Congress, Amit Shah said the opposition do not realise the fact that the BJP won more seats in this election than the grand-old party has managed in the past three parliamentary polls.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday made a bold ‘prediction’ for the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, asserting that the BJP-led NDA will retain power and Narendra Modi will be the Prime Minister again. Shah also took a swipe at the INDIA Bloc, saying that the grouping should prepare to sit in Opposition once again in 2029.

“INDIA bloc should prepare itself to sit in the opposition in 2029 as well. I assure you that let the opposition do whatever it wants to do, in 2029 NDA will come, and Modi ji will come,” Shah said after inaugurating the Nyay Setu water supply project and launching the smart city mission in Chandigarh.

Taking a jibe at the Congress, Amit Shah said the opposition do not realise the fact that the BJP won more seats in this election than the grand-old party has managed in the past three parliamentary polls.

The Home Minister also accused the INDIA bloc of attempting to create instability in the country and said they must learn how to work in the opposition.

“These people who want to spread instability, repeatedly say that this government is not going to last. I have come to assure them that not only will the government complete its term but the next government will be of NDA and be ready to sit in the opposition and learn the way of working in the opposition properly,” he said.

Speaking on the importance of the Nyay Setu project, Shah said, “This is an important programme. Water is very important, we cannot exist without it. When it is not clear, we get a lot of diseases. For this whole area, 24/7 supply of filter-cleaned water will be provided through this for the people in the area. It will stand the test of time.”

“This project is spread over about 125 acres. Ever since Modi ji became the Prime Minister, the focus has been on smart cities and Chandigarh was first on this list. So far Rs one lakh crore has been spent. The mission of providing clean drinking water to 74 per cent of the households in the country has been completed and water-borne diseases have reduced significantly. The work of providing clean water to every household in the country will be completed before the end of Modi ji’s third term,” he added.
