Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed BJP’s big win in the assembly polls as a victory for his government’s agenda of self-reliant India, asserting that its hat-trick in the states is a guarantee of its hat-trick of Lok Sabha poll wins in 2024.
“The results show popular support for our battle against corruption,” he told a crowd of cheering supporters at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, adding that they have served a lesson to the Congress and the opposition’s INDIA bloc that mere collecting some dynasts on dais may make for a good photograph but cannot win people’s confidence.
Prime Minister Modi delivered the victory speech after BJP’s spectacular performance in three out of four states Assembly elections, results of which were declared on Sunday. The saffron party has been able to retain Madhya Pradesh with a mamoth majority and defeated Congress in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, crossing the majority mark comfortably.
In Telangana also, the BJP has improved tally from previous elections. Addressing party workers at BJP headquaters, the Prime Minister said some are saying that today’s hattrick is the guarantee for hattrick in 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He also said that these results are also a big lesson for Congress and its ‘ghamandiya gathbandhan’.
The lesson is that the country’s trust cannot be won just by a few family members coming together on the stage. The spirit of national service that should be there to win the hearts of the people of the country is not there in the ‘ghamandiya gathbandhan’ (I.N.D.I.A. alliance).
Voters have delivered a warning to these parties involved in corruption to mend their ways or people will finish them off, he said. No one should come in between the Centre’s development and people, or the masses will remove them, Modi said in a stinging attack on opposition parties.
Some people are already saying our hat-trick in the states is a guarantee of hat-trick in the Lok Sabha polls in 2024, he said. He told opposition parties to not support those working against the country’s interests at a time when development is taking place at a fast pace.
People can distinguish between selfish politics and the politics of national interest, Modi said, asserting that they have realised that a strong BJP leads to the development of the country and every family.
He reiterated that women, youth, the poor and farmers are the four biggest castes and their empowerment will lead to the country’s empowerment. Noting that most members of Other Backward Classes and Scheduled Tribes belong to these categories, he said they have endorsed policies and roadmap presented by the BJP.
Every farmer, young voter and the poor and deprived are saying that they have won, Modi said, adding that the youth looking for a better future and every citizen wanting a developed India by 2047 is feeling successful following the poll results.
“I want to tell you with full honesty that your dream is my resolve,” he said, noting how the country’s infrastructure is undergoing a transformation while its economy remains the fastest growing in the world.
