BJP chief Rajnath Singh happy over performance in by-polls

BJP national President Rajnath Singh today expressed happiness at his party’s performance in the assembly by-polls, saying it proved that the party was not on a sticky wicket.

“After seeing the results in different states in these by-elections no one can say that at present BJP is losing in states…BJP has performed well in each and every state,” Singh told reporters in Delhi.

He claimed the bypoll results showed Congress is not only losing ground in Gujarat but also in states like Gujarat, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh.

It should be mentioned here that apart from clean weep victory in Gujarat, the BJP also secured a majority in the Uttarakhand Assembly by winning the Vikasnagar seat, taking its tally to 36 in the 70-member House. In Madhya Pradesh, the ruling BJP wrested Tendukheda seat from the Congress with its nominee Bhaiyya Ram Patel winning with a margin of over 13,000 votes.
