I’ve no doubt BJP will prevail & PM Modi will be back with a bigger margin in 2024: Amit Shah

阿米特·沙阿：毫无疑问人民党会获胜，莫迪总理将在2024年以更大的优势回归

Union home minister Amit Shah has been looking after BJP’s campaign for Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh — a tough terrain for his party. It faces anti-incumbencyin MP, while the dominant political assessment puts Congress far ahead in Chhattisgarh. However, in a conversation with TOI, Shah struck a confident note about BJP’s prospects in the two states.

联邦内政部长阿米特·沙阿一直在关注人民党在中央邦和恰蒂斯加尔邦的竞选活动，这两个邦对其政党来说很难攻克，面临反对现任政府的议员，而主要的政治评估显示国大党在恰蒂斯加尔邦遥遥领先。然而，在与《印度时报》的谈话中，沙阿对人民党在这两个邦的前景充满信心。

He was optimistic about BJP’s victory also in Rajasthan, and predicted a comfortable win, bigger than the last one, for PM Narendra Modi in the 2024 LS elections. Excerpts from the interview:

他对人民党在拉贾斯坦邦的胜利持乐观态度，并预测莫迪总理将在2024年大选中取得比上次更大的胜利。部分采访节选如下:

How do you assess BJP’s prospects in this round of state polls?

您如何评价人民党在这一轮邦选举中的前景?

There are still a few days to go before Telangana votes. But so far as the three states of the Hindi belt — Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan — are concerned, I see a strong current of anti-incumbency against Congress, including in MP. I saw it first hand in my tours of the states. In Madhya Pradesh, which I have looked at closely in the last two and a half months, people vividly recall the misrule, corruption and non-governance that defined the 1.5 years Congress was in office after 2018. In Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, Congress governments deviated from the tasks of development and maintaining law and order, which has hurt people. In sharp contrast to the adverse opinion towards Congress, people have a positive opinion towards BJP. Not just because of the Modi government’s welfare schemes but also because the Centre, under BJP, never discriminated against Congress-governed states. Even Congress has not accused the Modi government of pursuing a stepmotherly attitude towards its governments. I think BJP is on a strong footing in all three states and we will win all three, margins can vary.

距离特伦甘纳邦的投票还有几天。但就印度语带的三个邦——恰蒂斯加尔邦、中央邦和拉贾斯坦邦——而言，我看到了一股反对国大党的强大力量，包括在国会议员中。

我在美国旅行时亲眼目睹了这一点。在过去的两个半月里，我仔细观察了中央邦，人们生动地回忆起2018年之后国大党执政1.5年里的暴证、腐败和无治理状态。

在拉贾斯坦邦和恰蒂斯加尔邦，国大党政府偏离了发展和维护法律和秩序的任务，这伤害了人民。与对国大党的负面看法形成鲜明对比的是，人们对人民党持积极态度。

不仅是因为莫迪政府的福利计划，还因为人民党领导下的中央政府从未歧视过国大党统治的邦。甚至国大党也没有指责莫迪政府对其政府采取继母般的态度。

我认为人民党在这三个邦都有强大的基础，我们将赢得这三个邦，但优势可能会有所不同。

You were also confident of wng the Karnataka elections, but you suffered a big defeat.

您也曾有信心赢得卡纳塔克邦的选举，但遭受了重大失败。

You are right. We were off the mark in Karnataka and lost heavily. I feel that we failed to put our viewpoint across and convince the voter. But it is only a few months since elections, and people in Karnataka are already regretting, they are traumatised by the complete non-performance of the Congress government. They won elections by making a lot of promises, all of which remain unfulfilled. You will see the result of this betrayal soon. We will again sweep the Lok Sabha polls in the state.

没错，我们在卡纳塔克邦偏离了目标，损失惨重。我觉得我们没能让选民明白我们的观点并说服他们。但选举才过去几个月，卡纳塔克邦的人们已经开始后悔了，国大党政府的完全不作为给他们造成了创伤。他们通过做出很多承诺赢得了选举，但这些承诺都没有兑现。你很快就会看到这次背叛的后果。我们将再次在该邦的人民院投票中大获全胜。

EVM in total control of BJP.

电子投票机完全由人民党控制。

Ayikousik

May be...but the voters are not happy with actions taken for sentencing the corrupt Netas and putting them in jail.National Herad, Coal ,2G, BSNL , 9X media,irrigation scams... culprits are still loitering around with impunity , even after 9 plus years in power.

可能吧，但选民们对判决腐败官员并将他们投入监狱的行动并不满意。即使在执政9年多之后，那些罪犯仍然逍遥法外。

shah was confident of wining Karnataka and west Bengal polls, we all know the outcome.

沙阿有信心赢得卡纳塔克邦和西孟加拉邦的选举，我们都知道结果。

Kiran Kanoria

Unless and until EVMs are hijacked, manipulated or switched from the ones used, the BJP has no chance in 2024. They have ruined the country enough, we have a huge international debt now and how we are going to pay it, no one knows. The country is going towards bankruptcy due to one idiot.

除非电子投票机被劫持、操纵或更换，否则人民党在2024年没有机会。他们已经把这个国家毁得够惨了，我们现在背负着巨额的国际债务，如何偿还，没有人知道。这个国家正因为一个白痴而走向破产。

With 90% funding going your way, all the institutions in your pocket including election commission, you making nationalism as the only issue, buying press & media.. If modi ji still does not win, it will be a shame on you.

90%的资金流进了你的口袋里，你把民族主义当作唯一的问题，收买新闻和媒体机构。如果莫迪仍然没有获胜，那将是你们的耻辱。

The anti majority hindu and anti development party BJP should loose the elections for the nation good. The anti national RSS controlled BJP is making the nation ashamed in international arena.

为了国家利益，应该让人民党在选举中失利。反国家的RSS控制的人民党让国家在国际舞台上蒙羞。
