Poll results “ringing endorsement” of PM Narendra Modi’s policies : Manohar Lal Khattar

The Uttarakhand victory is equally impressive, he added. “The credit for the stupendous win in the two states goes entirely to the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah duo who worked assiduously and tirelessly. It is a ringing endorsement of the policies and programmes pursued by the Prime Minister,” he said in a statement here.

A positive atmosphere has been created in the country under the leadership of Prime Minister, Khattar said adding that the results show that people of the country are firmly behind the Prime Minister.

“More importantly, it puts a lid on all criticism of demonetisation…In fact, demonetisation has proved to be the game changer in these elections and was perceived by the poor as a decision in their favour,” he said.

The Chief Minister also said that BJP had emerged victorious on more than 100 seats in western Uttar Pradesh, which neighbours Haryana.

“BJP workers from Haryana had toured this area during the elections and Haryana will definitely benefit from the party’s victory,” he added.
