BJP State president L. Murugan has delivered on his promise that the social gathering can have its members within the sixteenth Assembly. Four BJP candidates received within the April 6 election within the first victory for the social gathering after 20 years.
Although Mr. Murugan misplaced in Dharapuram (reserved), he has set his sights on the longer term. He advised The Puucho that the work had simply begun; he would attain out to areas the place the social gathering had no presence.
“The people of Tamil Nadu have definitely accepted the BJP. In fact, they have welcomed us, if you look at the number of votes that our candidates have polled. Even in constituencies where we are not strong, we have polled a large number of votes. In Dharapuram too, without an adequate organisation, we came very close to victory [Mr. Murugan lost by 1,393 votes, polling 88,593 votes]. In Tirunelveli and Nagercoil, we had a very good margin of victory,” he stated.
Mr. Murugan stated the work put in by the social gathering cadre within the final one 12 months, Vetrivel Yatra, the enrolment of recent members and staff of different events becoming a member of the BJP, all contributed to the victory.
Despite having its MLAs within the Assembly, the social gathering will sit on the Opposition benches but once more, as in 2001 when 4 BJP candidates received as a part of the DMK-led alliance. “Unlike in 2001, times are different now. There was a constant rhetoric from a cross-section of political parties that the BJP would not grow in Tamil Nadu and it would not win even one seat. Yet, people believed in the need for the BJP to be present in Tamil Nadu and in Mr. Modi’s leadership. That’s why we have won,” Mr. Murugan stated.
He stated the BJP MLAs would elevate folks’s points within the Assembly; level out the errors of the federal government, if any, and supply ideas; and work for the welfare of individuals.
Mr. Murugan stated he, his social gathering MLAs, senior leaders and office-bearers would tour the State. “We are going to expand our work to the grassroots. Wherever we don’t have a base, we will go there and make efforts to grow the party,” he stated. The AIADMK had received within the 2016 election with out the BJP in its alliance. Yet, after the outcomes got here in, Union Home Minister Amit Shah wrote on Twitter that “the NDA has served the people of Tamil Nadu in the last five years”.
Asked about it, Mr. Murugan stated he will need to have referred to the AIADMK and the BJP working collectively because the ruling events on the Centre and within the State and as NDA companions.
