Congress downplays BJP’s victory in civic polls

“MP civic poll results are gladdening. I salute efforts of Karyakartas & party leaders”. “We owe this success to the people, Congress should think that defaming would not help in politics”, Mr Chouhan said shortly after the results were announced.

“Thank you very much for your continued support and faith”. Talking to mediapersons, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said in Bhopal that people of the state have given extraordinary and clear mandate.

Singh stated this hours after Modi tweeted about BJP’s spectacular efficiency in Madhya Pradesh municipal elections, through which the saffron party gained eight out of ten civic our bodies.

BJP had swept the civic polls in the state held earlier this year.

Responding to a question on Pakistan, Trivedi said that India has always strived for good relations with Pakistan but not at the cost of its territorial integrity and dignity.

Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should “break his silence” over Vyapam scam and other controversial issues involving BJP ministers and write about these matters on the microblogging site-Twitter.

BJP’s Mukesh Tandon won from the Vidisha municipal corporation.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to register its victory in all 16 municipal corporations in Madhya Pradesh today.

Singh also alleged that many docs in MP have gotten jobs after greasing the palms of authorities and held the BJP authorities within the state chargeable for it.
