On some occasions, I am likely to take some harsh steps but don’t feel bad and don’t get angry.” Shah further urged the party workers, “If we remove our intra-party differences, half the battle is won.” Shah warned the party workers that groupism will not be tolerated. Revealing the booth-wise polls strategy, Shah explained, “Take efforts to increase 10 per cent voting at Category A booth and try to raise 10 per cent votes of BJP at the Category B and C booths.
