“The BJP’s Subarn Yug (golden era) won’t come until the party comes to power in Odisha, West Bengal and Kerala,” Shah told a Press conference in New Delhi.
In his strong reaction to Shah’s claim, Minister Pradeep Maharathy said Shah is only daydreaming and his electoral prediction would never come true. Rather, the BJP would not even get “zero-dropped 120 seats (meaning 12), he mocked at Shah.
