CUTTACK: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday asserted that the Bhratiya Janata Party (BJP) would form Government in Odisha after the elections in 2024 by winning a two-thirds majority.
Shah was speaking at an event marking reading of the book Modi@20 in a hotel in Bhubaneswar.
He also claimed that Narendra Modi would become the Prime Minister for a third consecutive term after the 2024 polls.
Earlier in the day, Shah stated that “Achhe Din for Odisha has arrived” and that he sees a “bright future” for this State. He was speaking at an event marking the 75th anniversary of Odia daily ‘Prajatantra’ here in the presence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
He said Prime Minister Modi has been giving a special attention to Odisha which is evident from a good number of persons now occupying important positions at the national level, particularly DroupadiMurmu becoming the President of the country.
Shah, who began his speech with “Jai Jagannath”, said that whenever he lands in “Utkal”, he prays to the Lord of Puri and feels drenched with a sense of Bhakti.
Earlier in the morning, Shah visited the Lingaraj Temple in Bhubaneswar and offered prayer to the Lord on the occasion of the last Monday of holy Shravan month.
