Ananth Kumar, national general secretary of the BJP, also claimed that his party will get an absolute majority in the elections.

“The mood in India is like that of 1977 when the country faced the elections after the imposition of emergency… Voters wanted Indira Gandhi to go and did not give a fractured mandate but a clear majority to Janata Party that was unprecedented in many ways since Independence,” he said.

“We will get an absolute majority,” he said, adding that the BJP’s slogan in the ensuing election will be Congress Muktha Bharat (Free India from Congress).”
