Lucknow: The Bharatiya Janata Party in Uttar Pradesh had great success in the Lok Sabha elections 2014. In this election, BJP won 71 out of 80 seats. The NDA captured 73 seats. The Congress was reduced to two more Samajwadi Party 5 seats.
For the first time since the 90s, the account of Bahujan Samaj Party was not open in this election. In this election, the current Union Home Minister Amit Shah played a big role in preparing the policies of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He was made in charge of Uttar Pradesh. About 11 years after this election, Amit Shah shared the secret of that big success during an interview.
BJP was in trouble in UP
Amit Shah has made a big disclosure about the success of the Bharatiya Janata Party in UP in the interview given to News18. He also mentioned the challenges faced by the party in this election. In fact, the Bharatiya Janata Party suffered a crushing defeat in Uttar Pradesh in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. The party received only 20.27 percent of the votes. At the same time, the party was able to win only 10 Lok Sabha seats. At the same time, BJP’s performance in UP Assembly Elections 2012 was also not special. The party managed to win just 47 seats with 15 per cent of the vote percentage.
In such a situation, Amit Shah, who was a minister in the Gujarat government before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, was given the responsibility of Uttar Pradesh. In such a situation, the biggest challenge before him was to awaken the trust of victory among the workers. Akhilesh Yadav’s government was in the state. Meanwhile, the BJP started working on the ground over the Muzaffarnagar riots and other criminal incidents. Amit Shah has mentioned this entire incident in his interview.
What does Amit Shah say?
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, there was both anger and hatred against the Congress across the country. The Gujarat model used to attract the whole country due to a 12 -year -old Chief Minister yesterday of Narendra Modi ji. He said that the deficiencies which were visible under the Congress rule. The answer to those shortcomings was seen in the merits of PM Modi. There was a big public attraction about Narendra Modi.
Amit Shah says that the responsibility for me in Uttar Pradesh was that the organization was properly converting this popularity of Modi ji in vote and imprisoning the vote inside the ballot. For this, in Uttar Pradesh, the work of voting patterns for the interests of the country in Uttar Pradesh was done in the minds of the people.
Trust the people of the state
Amit Shah says that I think the Bharatiya Janata Party’s success in Uttar Pradesh was a feeling of faith in Modi ji. We can change the country of Modi ji, it also created faith. We told people that the country will change, Uttar Pradesh will have to change for this. Modi ji can change Uttar Pradesh. This belief was created. We were able to change the pattern of voting for the good of Uttar Pradesh and the country by rising above the spirit of castes.
The Union Home Minister said that there was a lot of things like intensive migration, repairing of the organization for this success. However, the main issue that was earned by Modi ji’s popularity, was successful in raising the system of incidence of Modi ji. I think we could do it properly. Therefore, we got such a good result in that election.
