Munda, after inspecting the preparations at the venue of a public meeting to be addressed by the Gujarat Chief Minister tomorrow, said people of the country were fed up with the UPA government, which miserably failed to deliver on all fronts and wanted a "parivartan" (change).
People wanted a change and solution to the problems of inflation and corruption in the country, Munda said adding they have high expectations from Modi and wanted him to see as the next Prime Minister.
To a query about the release of a CD on horse-trading in 2010 involving BJP candidate from Jamshedpur Bidyut Baran Mahato by the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik), Munda said it clearly indicated the desperation of their rivals.
Expressing doubt about the authenticity of the CD, he claimed that the BJP would put up an impressive performance in this election across the country.
About the first phase of polling in four parliamentary constituencies in Jharkhand tomorrow, Munda expressed hope that the state administration have made adequate security arrangements to ensure peaceful, free and fair elections.
Meanwhile, the JVM reiterated that they would stage a dharna near Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose statue at Aam Bagan in Sakchi after their request for time to meet Modi was turned down.
JVM had sought permission from the district administration to meet Modi and apprise him about tainted BJP candidate Mahato, who was allegedly involved in horse-trading in 2010 elections in Jharkhand.
JVM sitting MP and party's Jamshedpur candidate Dr Ajay Kumar had on Tuesday told reporters that the district administration did not respond to their request, forcing them to stage the dharna.
