The performance of candidates supported by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the gram panchayat elections signals the party’s capacity to win more than 150 seats in the forthcoming Assembly elections, said Dakshina Kannada Member of Parliament and State BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel here on Thursday.
Talking to reporters, Mr. Kateel said that more than 55 % of the total seats in the gram panchayats in the State have been won by candidates supported by the BJP. “This performance shows that the party is no longer just the face of urban areas but also that of rural region. This performance is far more than we expected and it shows the strong organisational presence of the party in the rural areas,” he said.
