Debjit Mukherjee: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said Gujarat has broken all records and created history by showering love on the BJP despite the party being in power in the state for 25 years. Addressing party workers in Delhi, the prime minister said the support for BJP shows that people’s anger against dynasty rule and corruption was rising.
He said people had voted for the BJP as it was taking all facilities to the poor and middle class at the earliest.
“I am thankful to the voters of Himachal also, where our vote share was just less than one per cent below that of the winning party,” he said.
“I bow to people. Their blessings are overwhelming,” the prime minister said.
The BJP was on course to win 156 seats in the 182-member state assembly, its best-ever performance in Gujarat.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was overcome with a lot of emotions on the “phenomenal election results”. “People blessed politics of development and at the same time expressed a desire that they want this momentum to continue at a greater pace. I bow to Gujarat’s Jan Shakti,” he said in a tweet, thanking the people of his home state. Modi also lauded party workers in the state, saying each of them is a champion. “This historic win would never be possible without the exceptional hardwork of our Karyakartas, who are the real strength of our Party,” he said.
