Modi wave still like a tsunami, says Amit Shah

New Delhi: As results of the Maharashtra and Haryana Assembly elections showed the BJP heading to yet another impressive victory, party chief Amit Shah on Sunday said the Modi wave is alive like a tsunami and still capable of decimating its opponents.

 "Some people rejected the Modi wave after the bypoll results last month. But I want to tell them that the Modi wave is still on like a tsunami and still capable of decimating the BJP's opponents," Shah said during a press conference in New Delhi.

 "The Maharashtra and Haryana verdicts are the people's stamp of approval on the four-month rule of Modi," he said, adding, "The nation still looks at Prime Minister Narendra Modi as their undisputed leader." Modi, his party's campaigner par excellence, addressed about 40 rallies in the two poll-bound states earlier this month.

 While Haryana has given a clear majority to the BJP, it is a hung Assembly in Maharashtra with the BJP short of simple majority by about 22 seats. Shah, however, said his party will have its own chief minister in both states. When asked about the NCP's offer of outside support to the BJP in Maharashtra, Shah said, "They have only given unconditional support to us. They have not really joined the alliance yet."
