Union Home Minister Amit Shah exhorted party office bearers to increase the BJP's nationwide vote share by at least 10 per cent from the 37.7 per cent it secured five years ago and ensure above 50 per cent vote share in the states where it came close to that benchmark, but couldn't cross it.
The BJP secured more than 50 per cent of votes in 11 states, including Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Delhi, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Goa and over 49 per cent in Uttar Pradesh and Tripura in 2019.
The party leadership has yet to put a number on its Lok Sabha ambitions but wants to surpass its 2019 tally of 303, equalling Indira Gandhi's 1971 Garibi Hatao triumph of 352 seats and 44 per cent vote share even if it does not have the nationwide footprint to match Rajiv Gandhi's 1984 record of 414 seats. In 2014, the BJP slogan was 'Abki baar Modi sarkar'.
