LS polls: Union Min Gehlot says BJP-led NDA will win over 300 seats

Union Minister Thawar Chand Gehlot on Friday said the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance will win more than 300 seats in the Lok Sabha elections as there is a tsunami in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He also said the BJP will win all the 25 parliamentary seats in Rajasthan.

"In many places across the country there is a tsunami in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. There is also a wave in his favour in states like Karnataka, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh," Gehlot, who is the Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, said.

He said the NDA government under Modi has taken "historic" decisions for the unity, sovereignty and security of the country in the last five years.

The government gave a befitting reply to those who support terrorists, he said.

Gehlot said the economy of the country has "strengthened" under Modi's rule and several welfare schemes were launched for the benefit of the people.

Attacking Congress president Rahul Gandhi, the Union minister said, "Wherever he (Gandhi) goes in the country, he only speaks lies. In Rajasthan, he said several things which hold no truth."
