The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has added Odisha to its list of states where it wants to wrest power and also win the bulk of the Lok Sabha seats to reach the 350 seats-mark. BJP chief Amit Shah declared in Bhubaneswar on Thursday that his party would fight the 2019 assembly polls in Odisha alone and its target is more than 120 seats of the total 147.

“A BJP wave is blowing across the country and it will come to Odisha very soon,” he said pointing out that the party formed a government in Manipur in 2017 where it did not win a single seat in the last assembly elections.

“Some think it is impossible to get 120 seats and form the government in Odisha. But, let me tell you they (political rivals) have grown old whereas the BJP has young leadership,” Shah said.

Shah said it was yet to be decided who would lead the state BJP in the next assembly elections but indicated that it would be a young person with a young team.
