BJP’s Victory indicate a strong support for politics of good governance and development: PM Modi

New Delhi, December 18: The Bharatiya Janata Party is all set to retain sixth straight term in power in Gujarat, also leading in Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections. Expressing his delight on the elections results in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that it indicated a strong support for politics of good governance and development.

PM Modi thanked the people of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh for their affection and trust in BJP. He assured that the BJP Governments would serve the people tirelessly and leave no stone unturned in furthering the development journey of these states.

BJP president Amit Shah congratulated his party men for the victory in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in the national capital, Shah said, “We have once again emerged triumphant. I offer heartfelt gratitude to the people of Gujarat and Hiamchal Pradesh that they gave us another opportunity to serve them.”

“People have reposed faith in Modi’s path of vikas. This is a victory of development over dynasty and polarisation,” said Shah who came to the party headquarters with much fanfare.

Reacting to the poll results in Himachal, Shah said, “The 2/3rd lead in Himachal Pradesh shows that people there want to join PM Narendra Modi in the journey to development.”

Shah expressed confidence that his party will emerge victorious in 2019 elections. “We are confident that when we go into 2019 elections under the leadership of PM Modi we will once again get people’s support and Modi ji’s aim for the youth in 2022 will become a reality,” said Shah.

BJP workers across the state are celebrating the stunning victory of the party in the assembly election. The results are expected to have a bearing on the 2019 parliamentary polls also as PM Modi had come to power in 2014, based on the Gujarat ‘model of development’.

The voting was held following an acrimonious campaign, where both the main political parties indulged in no-holds- barred attacks on each other. PM Modi led the campaign for the BJP, while Rahul Gandhi was the pivot of the Congress’ electioneering.
