Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday hailed the BJP’s winning show in the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) polls, saying people’s faith in his party “is humbling and gladdening”.

“People’s continuous faith in the BJP is humbling and gladdening,” Mr. Modi tweeted.

“We are fully committed to fulfilling (the) aspirations of 125 crore Indians,” he said.

The Prime Minister said after similar civic polls wins in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the Bengaluru results “complete a hat-trick of wins for the BJP”.

“This is a win for politics of development and good governance.

“Thank you Bengaluru! My gratitude to (the) people and congratulations to Karnataka BJP leaders and workers for the great election results,” he added.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who campaigned intensively in the run-up to the Bruhat Bangalore Mahangara Palike (BBMP) elections, on Tuesday owned responsibility for the party’s dismal performance.

“I own responsibility for the party’s defeat in the BBMP elections,” he said and took in his stride the poll outcome. The BBMP poll verdict would not become a referendum on the State Government. The electorate would choose different political parties in different elections, he said.
