Golden age ? Not yet says Shah

BJP Chief Amit Shah refused to declare it the BJP’s golden age. “You think this is a golden age? There is much more to come.

I will agree that we have reached a golden age only when we rise to power in Kerala, Bengal and Odisha. And, we will also have to pull in the victory in Karnataka,” he said.

Amit Shah said the BJP has proved itself all over the country and shed its tag as a ‘Hindi belt party’. Addressing a press meet after the BJP’s strong showing in elections in the three states in the Northeast, Shah said there is much more to come.

e said the BJP has effectively shaken off the tag of being a ‘Hindi belt’ party. He pointed to its performances in states like Maharashtra, Odisha, Assam among others as proof of this.

“We have an MP in Ladakh, formed the government in Kohima, we have a legislator in Kerala, and we are the governing party in Kachchh. A truly national face of the BJP has emerged today,” he declared.
