BJP president Amit Shah said here on Saturday that the elections to five Assemblies in 2017, including Goa’s, will be crucial for the BJP to perform well in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing a party gathering, in the presence of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar and AYUSH Minister Sripad Naik, Mr. Shah said the BJP would have to win the elections in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Gujarat and Goa to win the Lok Sabha elections.
Mr. Shah said that while the Congress was known for corruption, the BJP had come to power at the Centre and in many States and had given corruption-free governments working for inclusive growth.
