People across UP supporting us: BJP on local polls

NEW DELHI: Riding high on the party's thumping victory in Uttar Pradesh 'zila panchayat' and block head polls, the BJP now believes that the wind is blowing in its favour across the state and it will reflect in next year's Assembly polls.

The saffron camp claims that people across the state are supporting the party. Of the total 825 posts of block heads, the saffron party has won 635. Earlier, the BJP managed to sweep zila panchayat head posts.

Co-incharge of Uttar Pradesh BJP, Sanjiv Chaurasia told IANS that results are clear indication about the ground reality and massive support for the BJP.

"There is huge support for the BJP government's welfare policy and good governance model across the state which our political rivals failed to understand. Results of zila panchayat and block 'pramukh' (head) result have sent two clear messages, firstly the BJP has huge support at ground and secondly this support is spread across the state. Despite Rakesh Tikait leading a farmer's protest, the BJP swept western Uttar Pradesh in both zila panchayat and block head elections," Chaurasia said. (IANS)
