Assam poll result significant message for country: Ram Madhav

GUWAHATI: With trends suggesting that BJP and its allies are heading for a victory in Assam, party general secretary Ram Madhav said it was a significant message for the whole country which has come at an appropriate time.

"There was a curiosity about Assam elections across the country. The result is very significant and it is a clear message for the whole country and it has come at the right moment," he told reporters.

" Congress is being rejected everywhere in the country and they should draw lessons from this," he said,

He said this round of election has its own significance and it has reflected that Congress "did not learn any lesson from is debacle in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls."

"People are still not ready to accept Congress. We have given a call for Congress-mukt Bharat and it seems that people have taken the call very seriously," he said.

Madhav said BJP will form the government in Assam under the leadership of Sarbananda Sonowal and the party is committed to carry forward its development agenda.

"We have won the election due to the hard work of our local leadership and workers under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah," he said.
