Senior BJP leader and former Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai, on Wednesday, 24 January, predicted surprising results from South India in favour of the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Bommai claimed that there is a “Modi wave” in the country as the whole country is eager to see Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister again.

“Surprise results will come from South India in the coming Lok Sabha election. The BJP will win maximum seats from Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu,” the former chief minister told reporters.

‘Pro-Modi wave’

According to him, the whole country looks at Modi with a lot of confidence.

“There is a pro-BJP and pro-Modi wave from Kashmir to Kanniyakumari. This time, an unexpected result is expected from South India in the upcoming parliamentary polls. In Karnataka, BJP will win more than 25 seats,” Bommai claimed.

He said the SC-ST communities were disillusioned with the Congress party. Though many castes were included in the SC-ST categories, the percentage of quota has not been hiked.

The BJP leader also alleged that the incumbent Congress government had done injustice to the Dalits by diverting ₹11,000 crore of the Special Component Plan (SCP)-Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) for the implementation of guarantees and schemes.
