Senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj today claimed that the BJP-led NDA would reach the "magic figure" of 272 in the Lok Sabha elections and form the next government.

"NDA will reach the magic figure (in the elections)and form the government," Swaraj told reporters.

Describing the UPA as "Unlimited Prime Minister Alliance", she said the Congress-led coalition should now realise that they would not get any chance to form  government after elections as NDA will get a "clear majority". 

"The UPA has already disintegrated. First Left parted its ways and later RJD and LJP," she said.

"The UPA has become Unlimited Prime Minister Alliance. Tell them not to make efforts to decide on their prime ministerial candidate as they will not get any chance for it. NDA will get clear majority and form its government," she added.

Swaraj expressed confidence that her party will register "record victory" in Vidisha and hoped it will corner 27 out of 29 seats in Madhya Pradesh.
