New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that while on one hand, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has returned to power in several states in recent times, the Congress has never come back to power since Assam in 2011.
Addressing the party workers, after BJP’s thumping win in Karyna at the party headquarters in the national capital on Tuesday, the PM said, “Wherever the BJP forms government, people of the state support it for a long time. On the other hand, it’s long since Congress got a second term in recent times in any state. There are states where Congress was in power 60-70 years back, but since then never came back in those states.”
