NEW DELHI, DEC 3
As votes for assembly elections in four states – Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana – were counted on Sunday, BJP sweeps in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh. In Telangana, the Congress wrested power from the BRS.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said this is a victory for “honesty, transparency, and good governance”.
“The idea of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ has won today,” he said.
BJP leaders credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Amit Shah’s strategy, and the party’s welfare policies for the positive trends that show a clear victory for the party in three states. The opposition, however, claims that the results will not have any impact on the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
The Election Commission of India has, however, revised the date for counting of votes for Mizoram where voting was conducted on November 7.
Polling was held in Madhya Pradesh on November 17. Rajasthan and Telangana voted in a single phase on November 25 and November 30 respectively. Chhattisgarh voted on November 7 and November 17.
