THANKING the people of Haryana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said they have voted the BJP to power for the third time in a row on the basis of development and good governance.
In his address at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi on October 8, PM Modi also applauded the outcome of the election results in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, describing the peaceful conduct of polling as “the victory for the country’s Constitution and democracy”.
“On such an auspicious day (the sixth day of Navratri), lotus (BJP’s election symbol) has bloomed for the third consecutive time in Haryana. Truth has triumphed in the land of Gita. Development won in the land of Gita. Good governance won in the land of Gita. People from every caste, every class have voted for us,” PM Modi said.
Referring to the Jammu and Kashmir polls, the Prime Minister said: “After decades of wait, finally peaceful elections were held in Jammu and Kashmir, votes were counted and results were declared. This is a victory for the Constitution of India, a victory for the democracy of India.
Biggest vote-share
“The people of Jammu and Kashmir have given more votes to the National Conference and their allies, and I congratulate them on that. However, based on vote share, the BJP has emerged as the biggest party in Jammu & Kashmir. I congratulate all the candidates who won in Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir”
About Haryana, PM Modi said: “The people of Haryana have created a new history. So far, 13 elections have been held in Haryana. In 10 of these elections, the people of Haryana changed the government every five years. But what the people of Haryana have done this time is unprecedented. This is the first time that a government which has completed two terms of 5 years each has got a chance again in Haryana.”
‘No Entry’ for Cong
He also thanked the BJP workers, party President JP Nadda and the Haryana BJP team. “This triumph is also the win of the duties carried out by our humble Chief Minister (Nayab Singh Saini),” he said. Slamming the Congress, PM Modi said: “People in most states of the country have put up a ‘No Entry’ board for the Congress. Today, the entire country is witnessing how the Congress has started spreading poison in the name of caste in our society. Those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths want to make the poor fight in the name of caste”.
