BJP's Mission 185 in Bihar a day dream: Congress
Patna, Jan 27
The Congress Tuesday termed the
BJP's mission in Bihar to win 185 seats in the assembly polls later this
year as "Mungeri Lal Ke Haseen Sapne" (day dreaming).
Congress
in-charge of Bihar C.P. Joshi said the BJP has been day dreaming by
publicly announcing its target of winning 185 seats in the 243-member
assembly.
"It is nothing but the BJP's 'Mungeri Lal Ke Haseen
Sapne'. It will never come true," the former union minister told the
media here.
Last week, BJP President Amit Shah declared an
ambitious target of winning 185 seats in the assembly. He also asked BJP
leaders in Bihar to strengthen the party's connect with the people.
The
BJP has set another goal of enrolling 75 lakh members in the state
alone during its nationwide membership drive, targeting 10 crore new
members.
Joshi targeted the BJP by saying that the party has been
trying hard to experiment its decisive strategy again for political
gains in the polls bound state but it will be disappointed.
"BJP will get a major set back in Bihar, the land of innovative thought and new trend in the country," he said.
Joshi said Bihar's polls will once again prove that forces of secularism and communal harmony enjoy the support of people.
"The
Congress and other like minded parties would perform better than
expected and would caused defeat of the BJP in Bihar polls," Joshi said.
Bihar's
ruling Janata Dal-United last year joined hands with the Rashtriya
Janata Dal and the Congress to contest assembly by polls. They won six
of 10 seats contested together against the BJP and its ally Lok
Janshakti Party.
