New Delhi: BJP Chief Amit Shah while addressing party workers’ convention in Madhya Pradesh’s Hoshangabad set target of a ‘200 plus’ victory for BJP in the state election and asked the workers to work towards achieving the target.

Elections to Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly are due on November 28 to elect members of the 230 constituencies in Madhya Pradesh.

Trying to stir up the spirits of the workers he said a tsunami of victory is required in Madhya Pradesh so that BJP remains in power for the next fifty years from Panchayat to Parliament.

It is believed that the election will be a direct political battle between the Bharatiya Janta Party and the Indian National Congress. While the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government will try to win for consecutive 4th term, the Indian National Congress will fight for winning the state after 2003.

Taking a sarcastic jibe at Congress President Rahul Gandhi Shah said: “He demands answer from us for what did we do in Madhya Pradesh not given them an answer, we will give the answer to the people of the state, instead.

He told that UPA government had allocated Rs 1.34 lakh crore under the 13th Finance Commission, whereas the Narendra Modi government gave the state Rs 3.44 lakh crore as part of the 14th Finance Commission allocations.

"If funds allocated to various schemes (in the state) are included, Madhya Pradesh has got Rs 4.5 lakh crore from the Modi government," Shah claimed.

Taking a swipe at Gandhi, the BJP chief said, "During his visit to Madhya Pradesh, Rahul baba is asking the prime minister what his government has done in the last four and a half years. We do not need to answer him."

He asked Gandhi to give an account of the work done by "four generations" of his family instead of questioning the performance of PM Modi's government.

"People of Madhya Pradesh are asking him (Gandhi) to give an account of the work done by four generations of his family, including the work done by Nehru (Jawaharlal Nehru), his grandmother Indira Gandhi, his father Rajiv Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi," Shah said.

Shah said the BJP governments would drive "each and every infiltrator" out of the country after winning elections in 2018 (in MP) and 2019 (Lok Sabha).
