Chandigarh, May 24
BJP candidate for the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's historic victory was a tribute to the late Bharat Ratna, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and a lesson for the Congress.
"The historic victory of Modi is a tribute to Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji and a lesson for the Congress that when the earth trembles, big trees also fall," Puri, who unsuccessfully contested the election, said in a tweet.
The diplomat-turned-politician faced a tough straight fight in the constituency, dominated by the Jat community, and lost by 99,626 votes to his Congress rival Gurjeet Singh Aujla. IANS
