Assembly Election Results: BJP wins big in Hindi heartland; PM thanks 'Janta Janardan'

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi acknowledged the electoral verdict in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan, expressing gratitude to the people of Telangana. In a post on X, he stated, "We graciously accept the mandate of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan, and the ideological struggle will persist. I extend my sincere thanks to the people of Telangana, assuring them that we will fulfill our commitment to the progress of Telangana. A heartfelt appreciation to all the dedicated workers for their tireless efforts and support."

PM Narendra Modi posts on X, "We bow to the Janta Janardan. The results in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan indicate that the people of India are firmly with politics of good governance and development, which the BJP stands for. I thank the people of these states for their unwavering support and assure them that we will keep working tirelessly for their well-being. A special thanks to the hardworking Party Karyakartas. Each of them is exemplary! They have worked tirelessly and highlighted our development agenda among the people."

Ashok Gehlot on X: "We humbly accept the mandate given by the people of Rajasthan. This is an unexpected result for everyone. This defeat shows that we were not completely successful in taking our plans, laws and innovations to the public. I wish the new government all the best. My advice to them is that despite working hard, we were not successful, but it does not mean that they should not work after coming to the government. All the schemes and the pace of development that we have given to Rajasthan in these five years should be taken forward. I thank all the Congress workers who worked hard in this election and express my gratitude to all the voters who believed in us."

KCR concedes defeat in Telangana. "We respect the people's mandate," the Bharat Rashtra Samithi said.
