Agartala (Tripura) [India], June 2 : After the exit polls predictions gave a clear edge to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Tripura Minister Sushanta Choudhary attacked the Opposition saying that whoever is against nationalism and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is against development of the country.
"Dirty politics was done by Opposition parties in the past. Be it Congress, be it TMC, be it CPI(M), every party in the Opposition camp is going to be wiped out. whoever is against nationalism and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is against the development of the country. We are very confident that Narendra Modi is going to become Prime Minister of this country for the third time," Choudhary told ANI.
"The mandate which has been given by the people of India has been decisive till today and I have no doubt in mind that it will be the NDA government again," he added.
The exit polls on Saturday predicted that the ruling BJP-led NDA is poised to improve its performance over its 2019 record when it won 352 seats.
Two exit polls predicted the BJP would also improve its numbers from the 303 seats it won in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. In Uttar Pradesh, which has the highest number of seats, the BJP is expected to improve its 2019 tally and win 65 of the 80 Lok Sabha seats.
Its NDA allies in the state, Apna Dal (Sonelal) and Rashtriya Lok Dal are slated to win 2 seats each which brings the NDA tally to 69 seats.
