BJP win in Bihar poll shows people’s faith in PM: Irani

New Delhi, December 28

The BJP’s victory in Bihar poll, bypoll and local body elections in various states since September 27, when the farm Bills got the President’s assent, shows people in rural areas have full faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Union Minister Smriti Irani said on Monday.

Addressing a press conference at the party office, she claimed the Congress was attempting to “create an illusion that people in rural parts of the country were against the BJP”.

The BJP leader said between September 27, when President Ram Nath Kovind gave his assent to the farm Bills, and December 22, the BJP won the Assembly elections in Bihar, bypoll in 11 states and got higher seats in the local body elections in eight states. “The Congress is spreading misinformation that people of rural India do not support the BJP,” Irani said.—TNS
