The BJP scored impressive victories in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur on Friday while the Aam Aadmi Party registered a record debut victory in Punjab. The Congress, which was in contest in most states, gave a poor account of itself, raising further questions over its leadership.
rime Minister Narendra Modi, in his victory speech at BJP national party office, said the results had provided the template for 2024 general elections just like the 2017 UP win did for the 2019 general elections. “When we won in 2019, many intellectuals said this was clear in 2017 itself when BJP won in UP. I hope they will now say that these elections have made the path clear for 2024,” said Modi in a victory speech at the BJP party office here. He thanked women for supporting BJP in these elections and claimed that in seats where women have outnumbered men in casting their votes, the party has won with a “bumper majority”. He further said a day will come when the people ensure the sun sets on dynasty politics.
