New Delhi, Dec. 4 (PTI): Lauding its “astounding” performance in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) polls, where it has made big gains, as a “moral victory”, the BJP on Friday said it has emerged as the “only alternative” to the ruling TRS in Telangana.
BJP leaders hailed the party’s show as it won 46 seats, against only four it had earlier in the corporation, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah thanking people for reposing faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “politics of development.”
BJP president J P Nadda described the results as “historic” for the saffron party.
The election was held in 150 wards, and results for 146 wards were announced by late Friday evening. The ruling TRS’s tally fell below the majority mark as it won 56 seats and the AIMIM 52.
