New Delhi: Hailing the BJP's “jeet ka chauka” (a boundary of wins) in distant states like Goa and Manipur, besides Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his victory speech at the party headquarters on Thursday, acknowledged the turnout of women voters in huge numbers as a key factor for the BJP’s performance and asserted that the Uttar Pradesh verdict has also determined the fate of 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
“After 2019 Lok Sabha polls, some gyanis (intellectuals) said that there was nothing special about it as it had been decided in 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. I wish that these gyanis would once again show the courage to say publicly that the 2022 polls results have determined the fate of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls,” the PM said, reiterating that the results were a reflection of the country’s mood for the next 25 years.
Modi said that the country’s women have continuously reposed faith in BJP, as it is for the first time they have got the confidence that the government cares about their requirements. “Women's power has relentlessly supported the BJP. Results have shown that the places when women voted more than men, the BJP has won with bumper margins,” the Prime Minister said.
