Points to results in Madhya Pradesh

BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan sought to downplay the party’s losses in the Assembly polls in five States, saying, "The BJP has made some losses. Look at Madhya Pradesh, where the party did not lose, as predicted by surveys. In a way, the party has emerged victorious even while losing.”

But others had a different view. "Whatever the BJP might say, none of the parties that attended the all-party meeting in Delhi will support Narendra Modi's bid to be Prime Minister again. Today's victory belongs to AICC president Rahul Gandhi, who campaigned extensively to ensure the BJP did not win anywhere," said TNCC president Su. Thirunavukkarasar.

"The BJP has not won anywhere. This is a death-knell for the BJP, a warning shot by voters ahead of the 2019 general elections," said CPI(M) state secretary K. Balakrishnan. “Today’s result foreshadows the results of the 2019 general elections. The BJP has been pushed to the back of the queue; this will repeat when the democratic and secular forces come together to form a government after the general elections,” said CPI state secretary K. Mutharasan.
