Senior BJP leaders had congratulated TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee and DMK chief MK Stalin for the victory of their parties in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu assembly elections, respectively.
In a series of tweets, senior party leader and Union Minister Rajnath Singh also lauded Kerala Chief Minister and CPI(M) leader Pinari Vijayan for his party’s victory in the state assembly polls.
Singh congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP chief JP Nadda and Assam Chief Minister Sadbanand Sonawal for the party’s victory in the state assembly polls.
He said the pro-people policies of the Modi-led government at the Centre and the state government under Sonowal have once again helped the BJP in winning the assembly elections in Assam.
Congratulating Banerjee, Singh said he wished the best to her for her next tenure.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also congratulated Banerjee in a tweet and said, “Good wishes for your next tenure.”
Sitharaman congratulated Vijayan and conveyed her wishes in Tamil to DMK supremo Stalin for his party’s victory in Tamil Nadu assembly polls.
Meanwhile, the BJP has had the upper hand in every election in Assam since the party won big in the state in 2014 Lok Sabha elections. BJP single-handedly won 60 out of 126 seats in the North-East state and is all set to form the government again.
