New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi today congratulated the people of Haryana and Maharashtra after the results of the assembly elections were out in both the states.
In both Maharashtra and Haryana, the teams formed after the victory in the 2014 elections were relatively new, the Prime Minister said. In this context, high praise went to the BJP team in Haryana.
“People who know Haryana politics, they must know if we had to form an alliance with a party in the state, we had to fight on seats of their choice. This was a condition before 2014. It would be a big deal if we even touched double digits. To come from there to where we are today is remarkable,” he said.
In a state like Maharashtra, where the country’s financial capital, Mumbai, is located, political stability accounts for a lot, the Prime Minister said.
“For years, parties with two-thirds majority could not last,” he said, adding that Devendra Fadnavis was the first Chief Minister in Maharashtra in 50 years, who not only served the full five-year term, but also got re-elected.
