Bengaluru, May 19: The electoral verdict in the five State Assembly elections, including the spectacular victory of BJP and allies in Assam, indicates the popular mandate of the people for the Narendra Modi regime, said Union Chemicals and Fertilisers Minister Ananth Kumar on Thursday.
Speaking to reporters, the senior BJP leader said the BJP was ruling in nine States.
The votes secured by BJP in all the elections in the last two years have steadily increased showing the people’s mandate for the Modi regime, he said.
He said BJP has increased its voting percentage in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry and made historical gains in Kerala by opening its account by winning a single seat.
The BJP leader said the results in the five States as well as those held after the 2014 lok sabha polls have proved the increasing irrelevance of Congress party, which is being rejected by the people for its misrule and corruption scandals.
"It is not just the Congress but all the political parties, which aligned with the Congress party are being rejected by the people and BJP is gaining the people’s support across the country," he added.
