Following the huge victory in Haryana, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah hailed the people of the state and slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for “doing negative politics”.
In a series of tweets, Shri Shah said, “The people of Veerbhoomi Haryana have completely rejected the negative and divisive politics of Congress which divides people on the basis of caste and region, and have chosen the 10 years’ track record of development and poor welfare of BJP”.
“Haryana, the land of farmers and soldiers, has taught a lesson to those who go abroad and insult the country for their vote bank.” The Congress today, suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of the BJP, which had been written off in Haryana. However, the BJP, which bagged just 40 seats in the last polls, has succeeded in getting the majority on its own. The party is set to win 48 of 90 seats, 8 up from last time’s tally.
He said this massive victory of the party in Haryana was a victory of the unwavering faith of farmers, the poor, the backward, the soldiers, and the youth in the BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “I express my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Haryana for giving BJP the opportunity to serve the state for the third consecutive time. The BJP government at the Centre and in the state under the leadership of Modiji will fulfil all your aspirations and hopes.”
Shri Shah said whether it is the election of Prime Minister Modi for the third consecutive time at the Centre or the repeated formation of the BJP government in Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and other states, “it shows that the public has unshakable faith in the new era of Politics of Performance that the BJP led by Modiji has started in Indian politics”. “First in the Lok Sabha elections and now in Haryana, the people have completely rejected the Congress which made false and empty promises to get votes and are standing like a rock with the BJP which is delivering on the ground,” he said.
Peaceful and fair elections in Jammu-Kashmir
Congratulating everyone for the peaceful conduct of the Jammu and Kashmir elections, Shri Amit Shah said, “Modi Ji had promised the people of the country that we will conduct peaceful and fair elections in Jammu and Kashmir. I am extremely happy that for the first time since the advent of terrorism in the 80s, the people of Jammu and Kashmir witnessed such a transparent and peaceful election and participated in the elections in large numbers. I heartily congratulate the Election Commission, Jammu and Kashmir Administration, security forces and the people of Jammu and Kashmir for these successful and historic elections”.
