Kolkata sources reported that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said the country will witness a "revolution" in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and people will defeat the BJP. Previously the BJP had won the 2014 Lok Sabha polls by securing 31% votes but it cannot be repeated. She claimed “The BJP had won the 2014 Lok Sabha polls by securing 31% votes but it cannot be repeated”.
Meanwhile she reiterated that "BJP Hatao, Desh Bachao" (Oust BJP, Save Country) will be her slogan for the next year's elections, which, she said, will be "people's referendum" on the performance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Banerjee, who is in Germany, told Bengali news channel "They (BJP) did not fulfill even a single promise they made in 2014". Furthermore she claimed that no one will vote for BJP in the Lok Sabha elections and people will vote for those who are strong.
She added "Those (strong) parties will form
the government at the Centre. Who would become the prime minister will be
decided later and moreover the country will witness a revolution in 2019”. Further
Banerjee, who mooted the idea of a 'federal front' to stop the juggernaut of
Modi-led National Democratic Alliance, said all anti-BJP parties are coming
together. Moreover Banerjee also warned against the BJP returning to power.
