Buoyant at the victory of BJP in North East Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath declared that BJP will now conquer Kerala, Karnataka, West Bengal and Odissa saying party’s speed has doubled to achieve its target of “Congress Mukt Bharat” and Rahul Gandhi’s elevation as President of Congress has made the job easier.
“BJP has removed the Congress from five states after Rahul Gandhi took over the party from his mother. As long as Rahul stays as President of Congress BJP will surely have an edge over this grand old party of India,” Yogi said while addressing reporters here on Sunday.
He said the BJP has demolished the left citadel in Tripura and now the target is to bloom lotus in Kerala, Karnataka, West Bengal and Odissa.
Giving all credit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah for party’s resounding victory in North-east Yogi said that development agenda of the Central government backed by Shah’s election management acumen has paid off.
“The day BJP came to power at the Centre in May, 2014, PM had instructed union ministers to go at least once a month in North east and work for the development of the region. Besides the senior were asked to stay put for at least a day so that they can understand the problem of the people,” he said.
About Tripura, the CM, who himself campaigned there, said that for the first time BJP has broken the citadel of a left front which is a historic achievement. “Now it is the time that the party should end the last fort of the left in Kerala,” he said.
later he also took part in the Vijay Diwas function held at the compound of the party office where BJP workers danced to the tune of drum beat and sprinkled gulal. The workers also distributed sweets among the leaders and workers.
President of Yuva Morcha Subhash Yadav said that credit of party’s victory in Tripura and Nagaland should go to Prime Minister and the national president of the party. “Even our Chief Minister had campaigned in Tripura and his hard work has also shown results,” he said.
