The BJP is headed for its best ever performance in the state. The primary reasons for this success are the remarkable developmental work undertaken by the government, the relentless efforts and dedication of government, the excellent leadership at the state level, and most importantly the credibility that Prime Minister Narendra Modi amongst the people."
