BJP ‘resolves’ to win 150 Gujarat seats

April 21, 2017 10:39 pm | Updated 10:39 pm IST - AHMEDABAD

In a two-day State executive meeting at Somnath, the Gujarat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has resolved to win “150 Assembly seats in the forthcoming Assembly polls” due to be held later this year.

The State executive has passed a resolution to achieve the target of 150 seats out of the total 182 Assembly seats in the State.

The ruling party congratulated the Centre and the State government for initiatives such as strengthening the prohibition law and amending the cow protection law to award life imprisonment to those found guilty of cow slaughter.

Earlier, the BJP’s national president Amit Shah, while addressing party workers in Ahmedabad, had announced that the party would win 150 seats in Gujarat, and that will lay the foundation for next parliamentary polls in 2019.

After the State executive, the party will hold district level executive meetings to gear up its cadre for the Assembly polls.

Prime Minister Modi will be coming to the State every month to either inaugurate new projects and schemes or attend social events.
