Six-time Gujarat BJP MLA seeks Lok Sabha ticket from Vadodara

Vadodara | A six-time BJP MLA from Gujarat’s Vadodara district on Sunday demanded the party’s Lok Sabha ticket from the prestigious seat.

The Vadodara Lok Sabha seat was won in 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi by a margin of over 5 lakh votes. The PM then relinquished it and retained Varanasi Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh.

Madhu Srivastav, six-time MLA from the district’s Waghodiya Assembly constituency, said he wanted to fight the Lok Sabha polls from Vadodara to strengthen PM Modi’s hands and spread the latter’s “sabka saath, sabka vikas” initiative.

Claiming to be a staunch Modi loyalist, Srivastav told reporters here he also had good contacts in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar which would come handy for the party in the general polls. “I have communicated to the BJP central leadership that I want to contest Lok Sabha polls from Vadodara,” he added.

PM Modi slams Chandrababu Naidu, says he has only replicated Centre’s schemes

TestHostEntry

Guntur | Taking a swipe at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said he had only replicated the Centre’s development programmes instead of his assurance of initiating new schemes for the poor in the state.

Addressing a rally, Modi said Naidu had claimed he was his senior but instead was “a senior in switching sides and ditching his father-in-law, N T Rama Rao, former chief minister. ” Naidu promised the sunrise of Andhra Pradesh but is fixated with the rise of his own son N Lokesh, Modi charged.

The Chief Minister promised the redevelopment of Amaravati but is now engaged in his own development, the Prime Minister alleged. He said Naidu had not initiated any new programmes for the poor but was only putting his stamp on the NDA government’s development schemes.

On providing clean fuel in the country, Modi said while in 60 years, only 12 crore gas connections were given, the NDA government had given 13 crore gas connections in just four years.
