UP BJP president Mahendra nath Pandey has said that the all the nine candidates of the BJP for the Rajya Sabha elections will win the elections. The BJP on its own strength can win only eight seats and for the ninth candidate it is banking upon the cross voting from the opposition parties.
The state BJP president claimed that the BJP will win all the 80 Lok Sabha seats in UP in 2019 Lok Sabha elections. He said though the BJP lost the by election to Gorakhpur and Phulpur Lok Sabha seats it will win both the seats in 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The BjP earlier this week suffered crushing defeat in by polls held for the two Lok Sabha seats. He said the BJP will go to the 2019 Lok Sabha polls with the formula of 65+ or aiming to poll 65 percent of the votes at each polling booth in the state.
Dismissing the possibility of the Samajwadi party –Bahujan Samaj party taking concrete shape ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP leader said ``its an alliance of the Yuvraj of Sefarf and Prince of the Congress and `Daulat ke beti’ . He said the BJP will suitably devise its strategy to deal with the alliance of the corrupt political parties. He said coming together of the SP and BSP has exposed the political compulsions of both the parties.
``The BSP is facing existential crisis and for its survival it tied up with the Samajwadi party. Mayawati conveniently forgot the infamous `State House incident of 1995 where the goon of the Samajwadi party had not made an attempt on the life of Mayawati but also abducted the BSP MLAs’’, said the BJP leader.
