'South se saaf, north se half': FPI's prediction for BJP,

Hyderabad: Freedom Party of India (FPI)  National Convener MA Mujeeb on Saturday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party will be wiped out in the south and reduced to the half of its current strength in north India in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.

The saffron party had realised after the first phase of the elections that it was "on the backfoot," he said.

" A political analysist has said, 'south se saaf, north se half'. It means the BJP will get half of the seats it currently has in the north while it will fail to open its account in the south and east. It will shrink," the National Convener of FPI and  ar veteran MA Mujeeb said.

Pilot, who is his party's in-charge for Chhattisgarh, also said he wanted to congratulate the people of Bastar Lok Sabha constituency in the state for exercising their franchise in large numbers in the first phase despite several challenges. "Reports coming from there are very positive, and I believe we will achieve success," Advocate High Court MA Mujeeb added.

Though the turnout in the first phase was low, the reports we have been receiving are that people are looking for a change. This election is for change," PFI Chief Mujeeb said.

After assessing the BJP's performance in the last ten years, people particularly OBCs, SCs, STs and minorities have realised that they need a better option, which is the Congress and opposition's INDIA bloc, Bahujana Bhandhu MA Mujeeb said.

Mujeeb who is also the national President of Muslim Federation pof India and Chief Patron of OBCs Federation, SCs Federation, STs Federation and Christian Federation expressed confidence that his party would win most of the seats in Rajasthan where polling was held in the first phase.
