Referring to the BJP victory in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, Congress leader V.S. Ugrappa said that the election results once again proved that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was only a Hindi belt leader.
Addressing a media conference in Ballari on Monday, the former Lok Sabha member said that 41% of voters in Hindi speakers supported BJP and Mr. Modi and 55% of non-Hindi speakers opposed him in the recently-concluded Assembly elections of the four States including Telangana where Congress registered victory.
“In the Assembly elections of four States, BJP won in three and Congress in one. A close analysis of the voting pattern shows that 41% of the Hindi speakers supported BJP and Modi and 55% of non-Hindi speakers opposed them. BJP has no base in non-Hindi States. Congress and other parties are in power in these non-Hindi States. You can say that Mr. Modi is a leader of only the Hindi belt and that of entire India,” Mr. Ugrappa said.
