Our victory in Maharashtra defeat of family raaj: BJP

Srinagar, Nov 23: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers in Srinagar on Saturday celebrated the party’s victory in Maharashtra Assembly polls.

The BJP workers assembled outside the party headquarters at Jawahar Nagar here this afternoon. They distributed sweets and burst crackers to express their joy.

BJP’s Kashmir spokesman Altaf Thakur while talking to Greater Kashmir said, “BJP’s win is the victory of vikas (progress) and defeat of the family raaj. Every community supported the NDA, especially the BJP.”

“This win will have a direct impact on the poll results of other places like Delhi. After Uttar Pradesh Maharashtra is the second largest state.”

Another BJP leader said, “Our party performed very well in the Assembly elections in J&K also. We won 29 seats in Jammu region. Our vote share increased in Kashmir but unfortunately couldn’t form the government in J&K.”

He said that BJP workers couldn’t celebrate after the results of J&K Assembly elections were announced but today, they got a chance to give vent to their feelings. “Maharashtra victory has rejuvenated BJP workers across the country,” he added.

It is in place to mention here that the BJP secured a historic win in the Maharashtra assembly elections with the party winning around 129 of the 288 seats, while its alliance Mahayuti is set to win over 200 seats, comfortably crossing the majority mark.
