<b>BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley has claimed that the next Government at the Centre will be led by the saffron party.</b>
Speaking at a Press conference launching the fourth phase of campaigning at the Delhi BJP office, Jaitley said<b>, âThe BJP was scoring at 80 per cent strike rate on seats contested by the party.â </b>He said that leaving alone West Bengal and Kerala â where the Left parties are dominant â <b>anti-Congress political forces have done better in most of the States.</b> The figures, Jaitley said, were based on reports in vernacular newspapers and received from party workers.
<b>âIn States like Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka and Maharashtra where our party or allies are contesting, the strike rate is 80 per cent. We will win most of the seats</b>. In Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, non-Congress parties have a good standing,â Jaitley said.
He claimed that there was no possibility of the formation of a Congress-led Government. <b>Stating that BJP's 'revival' in Uttar Pradesh will be the 'game changer,' Jaitley claimed that the party will 'significantly' improve its performance in the state.</b>
The BJP general secretary took on the Government on issues of water, power, price rise and fee hike. Jaitley said at a time when people are either losing jobs or facing pay cuts, the Government has forced the burden of fee hike.
âThe people are facing a huge shortage of water and electricity. Fee hike is a major issue. But the Government is not at all concerned. Congress is a heartless party,â he said, adding that the Congress' campaign highlighting 'Josh' is a cruel joke on the people of Delhi.
Jaitley said usually during recession, prices of goods go down but surprisingly prices of food articles are skyrocketing when the economy is in recession. He also lambasted the Government for the chaotic traffic situation in the city and said neither Delhi Government nor Delhi Police have any plan to streamline the traffic.
