'Lower voting percentage should be a worry for Opposition': Rajnath Singh
Rajnath Singh talks about the security situation, political issues dominating the current elections and the BJP government's performance in a freewheeling discussion at the ET Political Roundtable. Excerpts:
On the assessment of elections in the first two phases.
As per the assessment, it appears that we will achieve the target of 400 seats. Looking at the atmosphere across the country and the response of the masses and the survey agencies which are working for us, we are confident that we will achieve our target.
On voting percentage being a worrying factor for BJP.
Lower voting percentage is not a concern for us but should be for the opposition. People want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to lead the nation again. He has raised the stature of India at the global level which has filled people with a sense of pride. Many international agencies have said India is the fastest growing economy and would be the third-largest economy. People understand all this. Then, the various schemes of the Modi government like providing houses, gas cylinders and free ration — the common man has benefited a lot under this government. Bringing 25 crore people out of poverty, I think is the biggest achievement of independent India.
