BJP will win all 5 states-PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday exuded confidence about winning assembly elections in all five poll-bound states- Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand, Manipur- saying that the BJP will emerge victorious and form governments with an absolute majority.  In an exclusive interview to  a news agency, the Prime Minister said, "I have seen in all states that there is the inclination towards the BJP and we will win the elections with a full majority. The people of all these five states will give BJP the opportunity to serve them." Noting that the BJP believes in collective leadership, the Prime Minister said that his photos on BJP's hoardings depict the party's workers. Considering him at par with party workers, PM Modi said, "To stand with the other party workers fills me with pride. If I feature in a picture with BJP workers, I feel that I also look like them. I believe that I am the same as them. I am not ahead of anybody or above anyone."

Replying to a question Modi said he did not speak against anyone's father or grandfather but a former PM. "Didn't speak against anyone's father/grandfather...I said what a former PM had said...It's the right of the nation (to know).They say we don't mention Nehru ji. If we do, then too there's difficulty.Don't understand this fear," PM Modi said. "Whether we win or lose, for us, elections are an open university in which we get the opportunity for new recruitment and the chance to introspect. We consider it as a field of the election," the Prime Minister said.
