All the four seats in the elections were held by the BJP and it had won these seats by the margin of 50,000 or more in some cases."

But I think this victory is the result of the hard work of the party workers. Also we have been able to work unitedly, be it young leaders or senior leaders," he added.

"Credit must be given to all those who have worked hard for this marvelous victory of the congress party," said Pilot.
