The BJP won 48 seats in Haryana Assembly elections, proving all pollsters wrong and leaving the Congress party stunned. After the party’s victory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed BJP workers in Delhi.
PM Modi said the farmers gave a befitting reply to the Congress in Haryana by brushing off their attempt to instigate them. He further called the poll results ‘historic’.
Addressing party workers at BJP headquarters in Delhi, he further accused the grand old party of attempting to divide the country by hatching ‘anti-India’ conspiracies on ‘international levels.’
Meanwhile, Modi linked the BJP’s performance in the Haryana Assembly elections to victory of ‘development politics and good governance.’ He further expressed his gratitude to the people of Haryana for giving a clear majority to the party for a third consecutive time.
“Heartfelt gratitude from Haryana! I salute the people of Haryana for giving a clear majority to the Bharatiya Janata Party once again. This is the victory of the politics of development and good governance. I assure the people here that we will leave no stone unturned to fulfil their aspirations,” PM Modi wrote on X.
