'Could Build Ram Mandir & Revoke Article 370 Due To Full Majority': Amit Shah To Goa BJP Workers

BJP has only managed to form a full majority in the tiny state once in 2012. Goa goes to elections in the next year along with other states like UP, Uttarakhand, Punjab, and Mizoram. 

Explaining the importance of a "full majority", India's Home Minister, Amit Shah gave a speech to his Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) workers in Goa. He constantly asked the BJP workers to raise their bar so that the party could form a government on their own, without the support of smaller parties.

Addressing a convention of BJP workers, India's Home Minister said that the party was only able to make some landmark judgments like the revocation of Article 370 and building the Ram Mandir by the virtue of them having full majority in the Parliament. 

“Why do we need a complete majority? How do two MLAs more, or less matter? It makes a difference. You tell me if Modi hadn’t got a complete majority, would the Ram Janmabhoomi temple be built in Ayodhya? If there was no full majority, would we have been able to revoke Article 370? If there was no full majority, would we have been able to take India on a path of development?” Hindustan Times quoted Shah in his address at a convention of BJP workers.

BJP, in their last election in Goa, BJP had won only 13 out of 40 seats, while the Congress was the single-largest party with 17 MLAs. Over the period of time, 13 MLAs from Congress and 2 from the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) came to the BJP fold to increase their tally to 27. Many in the opposition had termed this political situation in Goa as "horse-trading" orchestrated by the BJP.

This time, BJP's chief election man, Amit Shah doesn't want to keep any stone unturned and thus, is pushing for a complete majority in the state.

"Complete majority means stability, complete majority means the right to govern without hassles, complete majority means the right to rule corruption free, complete majority means the ability to implement antyodaya (compassion for the lowliest) principles,” Shah told a convention of around a thousand party workers," said Amit Shah.
