Prime Minister Narendra Modi today urged BJP leaders and workers to win everyone’s trust in the next 100 days as the party aims to win 400 seats in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
“In the next 100 days, we all have to reach out to every new voter, every beneficiary, every community. We’ve to win everyone’s trust,” the Prime Minister said at BJP’s national convention in New Delhi.
“To take NDA to 400, BJP will have to cross the mark of 370 (seats),” he added.
Earlier today, Home Minister Amit Shah likened the upcoming Lok Sabha polls to the Mahabharata war, asserting that PM Modi is leading the BJP-led camp working for the country’s development while INDIA bloc under the Congress is full of family-run parties and corruption.
The BJP is well into its Lok Sabha election prep mode. Party sources said, as early as last month, that National General Secretaries had begun meeting every week (on Tuesdays) to develop strategies, including candidate placement. At one such meet, attended by Mr Shah and party chief JP Nadda, the party said it would target first-time voters, beneficiaries of central schemes, and voters from backward classes, as well as young people and women, as it bids for a third consecutive term.
