Lok Sabha Elections 2024: BJP MP Pabitra Margherita Predicts Clean Sweep for Party in Assam (Watch Video)

Guwahati, February 4: BJP MP Pabitra Margherita on Sunday came out all guns blazing at the Congress, claiming that the grand old party will not win a single seat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in the state. Speaking to ANI on Sunday, the BJP leader predicted a clean sweep for his party in the general elections, saying, "Such is the desperate straits that the Congress finds itself at this time that I can't even see them winning a single (Lok Sabha) seat in the Assam this time. From the way they are conducting themselves in public and the pathetic state they are in, I can say with full confidence and conviction that we will retain all 14 Lok Sabha seats in the state and the Congress will draw a blank yet again."

Invoking the showdown between Congress supporters and the police in Guwahati after Rahul Gandhi was stopped from entering the Assam capital during his ongoing Bharat Jodo Nayay Yatra, "We saw what happened when the so-called PM aspirant arrived here as part of his Nyay Yatra. His meetings during the Yatra only saw gatherings of about 250, 1000 or 1200 people. This only goes to show that their ideology, and leadership are facing total rejection from people of Assam, Northeast and the whole of India," Margherita said. Lok Sabha Elections 2024: BJP To Set Agenda for General Polls in Two-Day National Convention on February 17-18.
