Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry and national president of Apna Dal (Sonelal) Anupriya Patel said her party “has been associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) since 2014, and would contest the 2024 parliamentary polls as an alliance partner of the National Democratic Alliance(NDA)”.
She said “we had contested many elections jointly and registered victory”. Anupriya, who was in the city on Monday to meet party leaders and workers, said, “The NDA government has not only worked for the poor, but also created a massive infrastructure in the country in the past nine years. People of the country believe in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and NDA will do a hat-trick in the forthcoming parliamentary polls.” She added, “Political parties that are now part of I.N.D.I.A, are disappointed and frustrated. These parties have been far from power since long, are desperate to grab power and so they have joined a common platform.” Hitting out at the I.N.D.I.A constituents, she claimed that “they have lost faith in the people of the country and as a result, they have been facing defeats in all elections”.
“We have been receiving full support for NDA in UP for the past four elections and this time, we would be able to exhibit an even more impressive show on all 80 LS seats of the state,” said the union minister, adding, “The results in 2024 will be better than the 2014 parliamentary elections.” About Om Prakash Rajbhar’s Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) joining the NDA camp recently, Anupriya said: “It will strengthen the NDA and I feel that more and more parties should join the NDA.”
Targeting Samajwadi Party (SP) national president and ex-chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, the union minister said the people of the state had rejected the SP in many elections, and asserted that the SP will not be able to get any place in the forthcoming parliamentary polls.
On being asked about senior Congress party leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi contesting elections from UP, Anupriya said: “Everyone has the right to contest elections from anywhere. It’s their party’s decision.”
