December 1st, 2011 - 12:10 am ICT by IANS
Kolkata, Nov 30 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Wednesday reiterated that it was prepared for mid-term general elections and exuded confidence of winning over 200 parliamentary seats on its own.
“I am not an astrologer so I can’t say when and whether the mid-term polls will be held. But I can tell you that the BJP is ready for mid-term polls,” BJP chief Nitin Gadkari said in an informal talk with reporters here.
Gadkari said once the BJP crossed the 170-seat mark, allies will start cosying up to it.
“Once we cross the 170-mark we will get a stream of partners and this will expand the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) which will come to power,” Gadkari said.
