PM Nrendra Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday thanked voters for reposing faith in the BJP after it fared well in different polls across the country and said the results suggest that people want “progress” and are against “corruption”. “Over the last few days, we have seen the results of various polls — parliamentary, assembly and civic polls — across India,” Modi said in a series of tweets.

“Be it the Northeast, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat… the BJP has performed very well. I thank the people,” he said. “These results across India suggest that people want all-round progress of the nation and will not tolerate corruption and misgovernance,” Modi said.

Modi’s remarks came after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won maximum seats in the Maharashtra and Gujarat municipal council polls. In the first elections after the government’s demonetisation decision, the BJP won by-polls in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The by-elections for 10 assembly and four Lok Sabha constituencies in five states and a Union Territory — Puducherry — were held on November 19.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
