ITANAGAR, May 15: Chief Minister Pema Khandu has congratulated BJP national president Amit Shah, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and all BJP workers for the party’s landmark success in the Karnataka assembly polls.
“It is no mean feat that the BJP has emerged as the single largest party in a state ruled by the Congress. This proves people’s faith and confidence in the party and the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Pema said in a statement here this evening.
The chief minister, who had predicted a BJP victory in Karnataka during the just-concluded BJP state executive meeting at Ziro a couple of days ago, observed that the continuing BJP victories in assembly elections across the country “have reinforced the changed mindset of the people, who have witnessed a sea change in governance during the last four years under Modi, compared to more than 50 years of Congress rule.
“The trend is encouraging, which confirms the connect of the youths with the prime minister, as our youths constitute 70 percent of our electorates today,” the CM said. (CMO)
