Gujarat results show deep-rooted bond between people and BJP: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday thanked the people of Gujarat after the BJP comprehensively won the local body polls in the state, and said the results reaffirm the deep-rooted bond between them and the BJP.

“Results of the local body polls across Gujarat and Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation reaffirm the deep-rooted bond between the people of Gujarat and BJP. Gratitude to the people for repeatedly blessing us. Kudos to all @BJP4Gujarat Karyakartas for working hard at the grassroots,” he tweeted.

In his reaction, BJP president J P Nadda said the win highlights people’s continuous faith in Modi’s leadership and the BJP’s pro-people policies.

The ruling BJP retained the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation (GMC) and won in two other civic bodies in Gujarat, while the Congress wrested the Bhanvad municipality in Devbhumi-Dwarka district from the saffron party.
