PM Modi thanks Gujarat for BJP's historic win in assembly polls

BJP registered a historic performance, winning 156 seats in the state polls where AAP campaigned intensively for a change in government after BJP’s 27 years of uninterrupted rule.

"Thank you, Gujarat. I am overcome with a lot of emotions seeing the phenomenal election results. People blessed politics of development and at the same time expressed a desire that they want this momentum to continue at a greater pace. I bow to Gujarat’s Jan Shakti," PM Modi tweeted on Thursday.

Modi lauded the BJP workers for their hard work and credited them for the massive win.

Modi also thanked the voters of Himachal Pradesh, where the Congress wrested power from the BJP.

He said BJP would continue to work to “fulfill the state’s aspirations and raise people’s issues”.

PM Modi said, "I thank the people of Himachal Pradesh for their affection and support for the BJP. We will keep working to fulfill the aspirations of the state and raise people’s issues in the times to come."
