New Delhi: The ruling BJP has bagged Assam and made in-roads in Kerala and West Bengal in a morale-boosting state election verdict that comes as the Modi government completes its second anniversary. The party has laid the foundation for 2019, said its chief Amit Shah.
"Across India, people are placing their faith in BJP and see it as the party that can usher in all-round and inclusive development," tweeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reflecting the party's euphoria after defeats in Bihar and Delhi last year, which raised questions on whether it had lost its steam after its 2014 national election victory.
Amit Shah called the result a "stamp of approval" on Narendra Modi's performance over the last two years.
The BJP's performance, especially in Bengal, comes as sweet vindication for Mr Shah, whose leadership had come under scrutiny after recent poll setbacks.
The victory in Assam indicates a wider endorsement of the BJP's campaign against illegal immigration from Bangladesh for many years.
In the Bihar polls, using PM Modi as the face of its campaign is seen to have backfired for the BJP.
