Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah today said that the BJP has secured a resounding victory in the elections held in three municipalities and municipal corporations in Gujarat. Addressing media in New Delhi, Mr Shah said that the party has won 90 seats out of the total 104 seats across these two municipalities and one municipal corporation. He said, In the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation-which falls within his Parliamentary Constituency, the BJP won 38 out of 44 seats. Mr Shah said, the Aam Aadmi Party which contested all 32 seats, forfeited its security deposit on every seat. The Minister said, this massive victory in Gujarat reflects the mood of the state’s voters, demonstrating that the electorate of Gujarat stands as a rock behind Prime Minister Narendra Modii. Referring to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Mr Shah said that Congress party has not won a single election in 41 years. Mr Shah said, the Congress party should introspect instead of dismissing the popularity of the BJP and Prime Minister Modi by attributing it to an ‘SIR’.
Union Minister Mr Shah said, the BJP also achieved a resounding victory in the local body elections held in Rajasthan as the BJP won 90 percent of the municipal corporations, 66 percent of the municipal councils, and 65 percent of the municipalities. Mr Shah said, these elections serve as a lesson for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
