talk to P.T.I. On the sidelines of the BJP’s Lok Sabha campaign here, Mr. Bharara said that the slogan ‘Abki Baar, 400 Pals’ given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not just a slogan but a determination.
“There is a tsunami (for the BJP) in Uttar Pradesh and we (NDA) will win 75 out of 80 seats in the state,” he said.

Commenting on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s performance in Allahabad and Phulpur constituencies in the sixth round polls on May 25, the party leader said, “We will break the records of 2014 and 2019.”

Slamming the India Bloc, Bharara argued that the more the opposition tries to tarnish PM Modi’s image, the stronger the Bharatiya Janata Party’s performance in the polls will be.
“The INDI alliance is fighting elections out of arrogance. It is very arrogant and the way they talk about the prime minister and the words their members use against him are not accepted by the people. “The more the chief minister takes office, the more powerful the performance of the ‘lotus’ (the symbol of the BJP) will be,” he said.
“I also want to convey to the INDI alliance that until the Bharatiya Janata Party president (JP Nadda) and Prime Minister Modi are there, we will not allow reservations based on caste or religion. “It is the basis of religion that does not allow any reservations,” he added.
With the opposition party citing rising inflation, unemployment and social unrest as key issues in this election, Bharara said in a media interview that the prime minister himself would not plan for 100 days, but for 125 days. He said that he was making plans for day to day.
“Of this, he allocated 25 days for the future and employment of the youth, making them self-reliant and giving jobs to others instead of looking for jobs. PM Modi and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Both of them are determined to make the youth of Uttar Pradesh self-reliant,” he added.
