Modi will have an edge’ : Owaisi predicts 2024 election result

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has said the BJP will have a clear edge over the opposition forces in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections if a particular face is pitted against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In the latest episode of ‘Podcast with Smita Prakash’, the AIMIM chief said the opposition needs to galvanise in each Lok Sabha constituency to defeat the BJP.
Owaisi said, “The opposition should look to put up a tough fight for all 540 parliamentary constituencies. If a single opposition face fights against the BJP, the latter will benefit. If it’s Modi versus (Arvind) Kejriwal or Rahul Gandhi, the PM would be at an advantage.”
With the focus now on the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the AAP recently claimed the battle for 2024 will be one between Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The AAP claimed that the BJP and PM Modi are shaken by Kejriwal’s growing popularity, his model of governance in the national capital, and the AAP’s expanding electoral footprint in the country.
A known baiter of the BJP at the Centre, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, too, remodelled his party, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, into the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and got recognised as a national party in a bid to upstage the saffron party in the LS polls.
On whether Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee should be pitted against PM Modi, the AIMIM chief said, “Mamata Banerjee (recently) held a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. So one is not certain.”
