Terming the defeat in the Assembly polls in three States as a wake-up call for the BJP, noted social activist Anna Hazare said on Wednesday that if the ruling party at the Centre did not keep its various made in the previous elections, the people would teach a lesson to it in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
Talking to media persons at Ralegan-Siddhi, Hazare said: “Before and after coming to power at the Centre, the BJP sold dreams to the people. But, all the promises made by the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have remained on paper. Through their mandate in the Assembly polls in five States, the people have exposed the Modi Government and its false promises,” Hazare said.
“The Assembly poll verdict is a wake-up call for the BJP. If the Modi Government does not fulfil its promises made in the run-up and after the 2014 polls, then the people would teach a lesson to the ruling BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls,” Hazare added.
