Will return in 2019 with “Record-Breaking” Win, says PM Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he would be re-elected with an even bigger majority in parliament in 2019, dismissing opposition attempts to rouse opinion against his government by accusing it of failing to deliver on promises of swift economic development and more jobs for young people.

PM Modi told the Times of India in an interview published on Sunday that his BJP led government is committed to improving the lives of all citizens regardless of faith.

The opposition and critics of the government have raised concerns that his administration has been unable to rein in right-wing fringe groups that are trying to undermine India’s secular constitution by targeting the nation’s large Muslim minority.

“We will definitely get more seats than we got the last time and I am confident that we will break all records of the seats won by NDA (National Democratic Alliance) in the past and achieve greater glory.

“The people are with us and we have nothing to fear,” PM Modi told the newspaper in an email interview.
Opinion polls show he remains the front runner to win another five-year term, but the party has suffered reverses in some local elections in the past few months that have energised the opposition.

“My platform will be development, fast development and development for all…We have worked very hard in the last four years and we will go to the people with our track record of development,” PM Modi said.

The opposition, led by the Congress party, is trying to pull together a grand alliance of regional parties and even communist groups to mount a joint campaign against PM Modi.

The BJP won 282 seats in the 2014 general election, giving it a simple majority in the lower house of parliament. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won 336 seats out of 543.
