इसमें किसी को कोई संदेह नहीं होना चाहिए भाजपा गठबंधन मोदी जी के नेतृत्व में इस चुनाव में प्रचंड बहुमत से जीतेगा। उत्तर प्रदेश 74 प्लस के लक्ष्य को लेकर आगे बढ़ेगा, अमेठी और आजमगढ़ को भी भाजपा ही जीतेगी।

BJP Jharkhand president Laxman Gilua had said earlier this month "BJP will win all 14 seats in the Jharkhand, our surveys tell us that," Prior to that, Karnataka BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa had said that the Balakot air strike has led to a "pro-Modi wave” in the country and would help the party win more than 22 seats in the southern state.
While the BJP central leadership had distanced itself from the remarks, maintaining that it doesn't want to politicise the airstrikes, Opposition leaders led by Congress had attacked the Modi government for using the IAF action for electoral gains.
