Addressing allegations that BJPโ€™s support has no significant impact on the National People’s Party (NPP), Hek asserted, โ€œBJPโ€™s support for NPP will translate into votes as we have worked very hard.โ€

Hek dismissed the notion of BJP being anti-Christian, calling it a thing of the past.

โ€œSince the inception of BJP, there have been claims that it is anti-Christian and anti-minority, but the party continues to thrive. I am a Christian, I joined the BJP, whatโ€™s wrong with that?โ€ he questioned.

Hek also expressed confidence in the BJPโ€™s prospects in the upcoming national elections.

โ€œThe feedback is positive for BJP. The party is still strong, and I have no doubt that the Prime Minister will secure a third term,โ€ he added.
