The BJP's victory hat-trick in Haryana shows the people have defeated the Opposition's narratives on various issues and exposed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's politics of drama, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Tuesday
He also said the BJP and the Union government have strongly responded to Pakistan's propaganda in the Jammu and Kashmir elections
The BJP is set to return to power in Haryana for the third consecutive term with an absolute majority in the 90-member assembly
The BJP has emerged as the second largest party by winning 29 constituencies in the maiden assembly polls post the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, improving its all-time high tally of 25 seats recorded in 2014 elections
Fadnavis expressed confidence in the BJP repeating its Haryana performance in the Maharashtra elections, likely to be held next month
He cryptically said "those living in a fool's paradise will now come on the ground", adding the context of the BJP's debacle in Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra
Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule said the Haryana poll outcome is a strong message to the "fake narrative" of the Congress which affected his party in the Lok Sabha elections held earlier this year
The Mahayuti government in Maharashtra (comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar's NCP) will replicate the same in the state elections, Bawankule said
