BJP will get 260 seats, NDA to form government under Narendra Modi: Ramdas Athawale

Union minister Ramdas Athawale on Friday expressed confidence that the BJP would win at least 260 seats in the Lok Sabha polls and the NDA would form the next government under the leadership of Narendra Modi. He was addressing a press conference after visiting some drought-hit villages in the district. “The BJP would win at least 260 Lok Sabha seats. In Maharashtra, the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance will get 37 to 38 seats as against the 42 in 2014,” Athawale said.
He said his party – Republican Party of India (A) – would go with the saffron alliance even in the state assembly election to be held later this year, and demand 18 seats. When asked about the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), an alliance between Prakash Ambedkar-led Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh and Asaduddin Owaisi-led MIM, Athawale said it will not win even a single seat in the Lok Sabha polls in the state.”On the contrary, the VBA will benefit the BJP,” he said.
