Poll results show all sections supporting BJP: PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Thursday the results of two state assembly elections and several bypolls highlight people’s support to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s vision and commitment to development rising above social “faultlines”, which he said were “being exploited” by rival parties for political gains.

India’s future can be made bright not by raising faultlines but by erasing them, he said in his address to BJP workers at the party’s headquarters after the BJP wrote new records in his home state by winning over 155 seats and fetching over 52 per cent of votes. The BJP lost to the Congress in Himachal Pradesh though.

While the people of Gujarat have “broken records in breaking new records”, the BJP fell behind the Congress by less than one per cent votes in Himachal Pradesh, he noted and said his party’s win in Kurhani bypoll in Bihar against the combined might of the grand alliance of the Rashtriya Janata Dal-Janata Dal United-Congress is an indication of the times to come in the state.
