Jharkhand results mandate against BJP’s divisiveness, says Congress

The Congress, upbeat as the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-Congress-Rashtriya Janta Dal alliance secured victory in Jharkhand on Monday, termed the results a rejection of BJP's "anti-people" and "anti-constitutional" policies.

Congress General Secretary, Organisation, K.C. Venugopal said the results of the Jharkhand Assembly election are "a substantive and clear mandate against the divisive and disruptive political actions of (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi and the BJP".

"The people of Jharkhand have rejected the anti-people and anti-constitutional policies of the BJP. Instead of talking about the development in respective states or issues of common people, the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was trying to fool the people by their narrow minded divisive political actions and sectarian agenda," he said, in a release.

Venugopal insisted that the people of Jharkhand have given a befitting reply to the BJP.

"The victory in Jharkhand will give more power to the Congress party to fight against the anti-constitutional and anti-people policies of the BJP," he added.
