Oct 09, 2024
Agartala (Tripura) [India], October 9 : Following the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) historic win in the Haryana Assembly elections, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Wednesday attributed the party's victory to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that the triumph was made possible solely because of him.
"I believe that the results in Haryana have been achieved due to PM Narendra Modi. I thank the people of Haryana and PM Modi. We have also had good results in Jammu and Kashmir. This is our third win in Haryana, and it has been possible only because of PM Modi," said Saha.
Meanwhile, Union Minister of State Anupriya Patel also credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the BJP's victory in Haryana, calling it a "miracle of PM Modi's leadership."
Speaking to ANI on Wednesday, Anupriya Patel highlighted BJP's consecutive victories in Haryana and said, "The BJP has achieved a hat-trick in Haryana, and for the first time in the state's history, a party has come to power for three consecutive terms. This is a testament to Prime Minister Modi's leadership, his policies aimed at the welfare of the poor, social justice, and development. This victory belongs to him."
Apna Dal (Soneylal) chief Anupriya Patel congratulated the BJP, its alliance partner, for their performance in both Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir.
"I congratulate the BJP. Democracy has prevailed in Jammu and Kashmir, and the BJP has performed well there too," she said.
BJP National Spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia launched a scathing attack on Congress and Rahul Gandhi after their loss in the Haryana elections.
"Every citizen of the country today feels that Rahul Gandhi, as Leader of the Opposition, and the Congress party, as the principal opposition, are unfortunate for our country. Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party's favourite pastime is to attempt to undermine the credibility of every constitutional authority they can attack. We are all shocked by Rahul Gandhi's reaction to the Haryana election results. He claims the results are unexpected, but in Jammu and Kashmir, where the INDI Alliance won, he calls it a victory for democracy. Why these double standards and hypocrisy?" Bhatia remarked.
The BJP is set to form the government for the third consecutive time in Haryana after securing 48 seats in the 90-member assembly. The party also won 29 out of the 90 assembly constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir, marking a significant increase of four seats compared to the last assembly elections.
