New Delhi: In his first ever press conference after assuming the office of the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on Friday claimed that the BJP was about to repeat history and vote him back to power again.
At a press briefing at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, Modi was accompanied by party chief Amit Shah and national general secretary Ram Lal.
“Mera mat hai ki purn bahumat ki sarkar fir banayenge [my intuition is that we will form the government again with simple majority]. Rarely has it happened that a majority government, after completing five years, will come to power again,” PM Modi said.
Having been criticised for not addressing a single press conference in his five-year tenure, PM Modi’s media interaction on Friday came as a surprise to many.
However, Modi did not take questions and instead chose to deflect them to Amit Shah, saying, “in our party, the chief is everything”.
Shah took all the questions, including one on the number of seats he was expecting the party to bag on May 23.
“We are getting over 300 seats on our own. We will form the government with our pre-poll allies and our doors are open to anyone who is willing to join us,” he said.
