Prime Minister Narendra Modi has the support of every section of society, BJP candidates from the national capital said Friday, exuding confidence that the party will win all the seven Lok Sabha seats here with a margin higher than that in 2014.
Taking a jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Union Minister and BJP's Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha seat candidate Harsh Vardhan said the "pleading" done by the Delhi's ruling party for a pre-poll alliance with the Congress gives an indication that it is staring at defeat.
"Every section of society, from the youth to street hawkers, support Modi. People, more than BJP workers, are eager to make Modi the prime minister of the country again. BJP will win the 2019 polls with more seats than in 2014," he said.
Echoing similar views, BJP's South Delhi candidate Ramesh Bidhuri hit out at the AAP and said those rejected by the people are pleading for an alliance with the Congress.
"The BJP will win all seven seats with a bigger margin in 2019 than 2014. The forces that aspire defeat of the BJP will be defeated," he said.
The party's candidates were interacting with reporters at the Delhi BJP office.
