Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is addressing media persons on the occasion of BJP government completing one year in the state.
The minister's statement came days after the Bharatiya Janata Party suffered a double jolt as it was trounced in the Uttar Pradesh Lok Sabha by-polls for the Gorakhpur and Phulpur and in Bihar's Araria.
Power Minister Shrikant Sharma informed that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had also directed officials to make any necessary arrangements before the festival starts.
Akhilesh Yadav, who had attributed SP's victory in Gorakhpur and Phulpur to support from BSP and some local parties, spent some at the BSP supremo's residence.
The Congress also claimed the BJP had "lost" its simple majority in the Lok Sabha. It said the BJP now had 271 members, minus the two rebel MPs, Kirti Azad and Shatrughan Sinha.
The Congress party today suffered humiliating defeat in the Lok Sabha bypolls in Gorakhpur and Phulpur with party candidates failing to save their security deposits.
Gorakhpur was earlier held by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath while Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya had held the Phulpur seat.
With the loss of the prestigeous Gorakhpur and Phulpur in the by-elections in Uttar Pradesh, the party's tally in the Lok Sabha has come down to 274, only two more than the half-way mark of 272 in the 543-member House.
The SP's electoral understanding with Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and tie-up with local satraps paid dividends, prompting the BJP to speak of re-drawing its electoral strategy ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
Congratulating SP and RJD candidates who emerged victorious in the Lok Sabha bypolls, Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress will now look forward to 'Navnirman' in Uttar Pradesh.
The chief minister cited over-confidence and the inability to understand the understanding between SP and BSP as prime reasons for the BJP's defeat.
Samajwadi Party candidate Nagendra Pratap Singh Patel defeated his nearest Bharatiya Janata Party rival Kaushlendra Singh Patel by 59,613 votes.
The BJP has continued its unique record of losing all by-elections on Lok Sabha seats vacated after party's massive victory in 2014 parliamentary elections where it had won 282 seats.
Replying to questions from Rajat Sharma at the India TV Samvaad conclave here on Tuesday evening, Yogi Adityanath said: "Our party will score a one hundred percent win in 2019 elections, all 80 out of 80 Lok Sabha seats".
UP's industrial development minister Satish Mahana, another member on the panel, too condemned Agrawal’s remark.
Speaking at India TV Samvaad Conclave, Patra exuded confidence that the Supreme Court verdict will come in the favour of Hindus.
Speaking at India TV’ Samvaad Conclave in Lucknow, organised to assess the performance of his 1-year old government, the CM said that Akhilesh and Congress president Rahul Gandhi have understood the power of Hindus.
Maurya said that under CM Yogi’s leadership, the state has moved forward on the path of development.
"Hema Malini likes meeting people in Mathura, she won her election from there, but Jaya Bachchan can never dream of winning a Lok Sabha election," Singh said.
Discussing the solution of Ram Mandir dispute on India TV Samvaad, Maulana Madani said the matter was very sensitive and a small statement can lead to heated debates.
"Why are people forgetting that there was BJP-BSP alliance in the past, and also SP-BSP alliance?" asked Akhilesh Yadav.
Speaking at the India TV Samvaad on one year of Yogi Govt, the Rajya Sabha MP said that PM Modi and CM Adityanath have together created a government which cannot be bought by corrupt businessmen.
The Deputy CM even added that those who are trying to halt the saffron party's pace will not be able to succeed as people of the country have full faith in PM Modi.
Speaking at India TV Samvaad on one year of Yogi Adityanath govt in Uttar Pradesh, Rao said no other party stands a chance to fight BJP in 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party, Akhilesh said there is not a single party in the country that has not been divided by the Bharatiya Janata Party.
