GANDHINAGAR: From the temple town of Somnath , where BJP kicked off the agitation for the Ram temple in Ayodhya in 1990, BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday called on the state BJP to uproot the Congress from all polling booths in Gujarat and win a bigger proportion of seats than the saffron party did in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand earlier this year.Shah addressed the valedictory session of the Gujarat BJP's executive committee meeting . He expressed his confidence that the BJP will surpass its target of 150-plus seats, but said the prime objective must be to wipe out Congress from Gujarat.While lauding the work done by PM Narendra Modi led's NDA government across the country and in Gujarat, he said, "Winning more than 150 seats is not our only target, you (workers) have to fight this elections to completely uproot Congress from every booth (there are 47,000 booths in Gujarat) as a part of Narendrabhai's dream of a 'Congress-mukt Bharat (Congress-free India). We have to register a proportionally bigger victory in Gujarat than in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. I am not talking as a political expert but as a layman. I believe that if we won 128 while Narendrabhai was CM, we have to win more than 150 seats to suit his prime ministerial post."He also warned the Gujarat BJP against overconfidence or staying idle in anticipation of getting one win after another, in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, under PM Modi's leadership. "Don't rest from this moment till the time of counting and results," Shah said.Shah lauded the government of India's achievements of the last three years and said, "Under PM Modi, we took 30 to 35 major decisions which other governments did not take in their complete terms. Be it starting implementation of GST regime, Jandhan accounts, Ujwala Yojana, rural electrification or reaching the poor. There is still a lot to done in the coming years to wipe out Congress completely and have BJP rule for the next 150 years."
