He said that the BJP would win 75 seats in the 147-member Odisha assembly and 16-17 of the state’s 21 Lok Sabha seats.

“We will definitely surpass 400 seats. We will also form governments in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Arunachal Pradesh,” Shah asserted.

He attributed the expected strong performance of the BJP to the Central government’s achievements under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In West Bengal, the BJP aims to win between 24 to 30 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats, while in Andhra Pradesh, the party’s alliance is expected to secure nearly 17 of the 25 Lok Sabha seats, said Shah.
