Udupi, Mar 21: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP and BJP candidate for Lok Sabha polls Shobha Karandlaje on Thursday March 21 likened BJP party workers to soldiers fighting a war at the border.
Speaking to reporters after the BJP released its first list of candidates, Shobha Karandlaje thanked state and national BJP leaders for choosing her. "The party leaders at the state and national level have reposed their faith in me by giving me this opportunity. We will together pull the BJP chariot to victory. We are confident of winning at least 300 seats in Lok Sabha, and we will have Narendra Modi as our Prime Minister again.
"I have belief in the people of my constituency that they will bless me again. We will take the development of my constituency as a challenge and fulfil it. All the BJP party workers are our soldiers, and they are working like the soldiers who fight wars at our borders. Like soldiers, our party workers never rest, nor do they get distracted. They will be working hard day and night for the next 28 days for Modi's and BJP's victory," she said.
Regarding discontent over her candidature within the party, she said, "There is no discontent and no differences of opinion. There is nothing wrong in being a ticket aspirant. Once the candidate's name is announced, all party workers strive to make the candidate win."
