Union Home Minister Amit Shah has predicted a "huge victory" for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Lok Sabha election in South India, a region where the ruling outfit has traditionally struggled for relevance and traction. "We are moving to a big victory in the four southern states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu," Mr Shah told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
