BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has said that today’s results reflect a mandate for pro-incumbency performance. Speaking exclusively to Akashvani at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, Mr. Poonawalla emphasized that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has scripted a new narrative in Indian politics. He highlighted that BJP governments are being re-elected across several states and at the Centre because they deliver on the aspirations of the people in areas such as development, infrastructure, and social welfare.

Speaking on the early trends of the Jammu and Kashmir elections, Mr. Poonawalla expressed hope for gaining support from several independent candidates, noting that they share the same nationalistic and constitutional ideology.
