BJP pulled off a surprise victory in a closely-watched contest in Haryana, giving a boost to the ruling party after a setback in national elections earlier this year and bolstering its prospects ahead of other regional polls.
BJP won 48 out of 90 seats in the northern Indian state bordering New Delhi, an unexpectedly strong showing just months after the bruising loss of its parliamentary majority, an outcome that forced Modi to govern alongside coalition allies for the first time since he took office a decade ago.
The opposition Indian National Congress won 36 seats in Haryana and was leading in another seat as counting wrapped up late Tuesday. Still, the result keeps the farm-dominated state firmly in the BJP’s grasp.
Among prominent candidates, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Congress leaders Udai Bhan, were also ahead on their respective seats.
However, senior BJP leader Anil Vij, INLD's Abhay Singh Chautala and JJP's Dushyant Chautala were trailing.
Addressing party workers at BJP headquarters after the results of assembly polls in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir, the Prime Minister said the party's victory in Haryana was an outcome of hard work of party workers.
He said elections were conducted peacefully after decades in Jammu and Kashmir and this is a victory for the constitution and democracy of India.
"'Jaha doodh-dahi ka khana, waisa hai apna Haryana'. The people of Haryana have done wonders. Today is the sixth day of Navratri, the day of Maa Katyayani. Maa Katyayani is sitting on a lion with a lotus in her hand. She is blessing all of us. On such a holy day, lotus has bloomed in Haryana for the third time," PM Modi said.
