TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that people of Maharashtra and Haryana have reposed their trust in the chief ministers of the two states and asserted that they will work even harder in the next five years to serve them.
Addressing party workers at the Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters, Modi described the party’s performance in Haryana, where it failed to win a majority, as ‘unprecedented’ as he noted that its vote share in this assembly election has gone up to 36 per cent from 33 per cent in 2014.
The rise in vote share came even though it is believed that some amount of ‘anti-establishment’ is at work against the ruling parties during the elections, he said. Though the BJP’s share of votes has gone up, its seat tally fell to 40 from 47 in the 90-member assembly.
Lauding Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and his Maharashtra counterpart Devendra Fadnavis, Modi said the Khattar government took along all sections of society while Fadnavis ran an untainted administration and became the first Maharashtra chief minister in 50 years to complete term.
