BJP president Amit Shah today accused the Congress of making desperate attempts to win elections in an "undemocratic" way, but said such machinations would not work and his party would win 130 plus seats.
Shah referred to the alleged "bogus" voter ID card scandal, saying, "it tells us how desperately the Congress wants to win the election."
Replying to a query whether party scheduled tribes leader Sreeramulu would be made Deputy Chief Minister (in the event of party's victory), Shah said after the election results, it would discuss the issue with an "open mind."
"Yeddyurappa will remain Chief Minister for the entire five-year term unlike the previous one where the then government at the centre wanted to remove his government, but the present Modi government will be rock solid behind him."
On Congress President Rahul Gandhi's allegations that the Prime Minister had launched personal attacks, Shah said, "On an average, if you see, such attacks have been for 2 to 3 minutes, but it appeared to be too much because the media played it or the entire day to gain TRP."
