"The electorate of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattigarh have rightly rewarded the BJP governments for their good work and rightly rejected the Congress," Modi said in his reaction after the results of assembly polls in four states.
The results were also indicative of the things to come in the general elections, he said and lavished praise on the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for playing a "big" role in the BJP's impressive electoral victory in the four states.
Modi took a dig at the Bihar Chief Minister for the JD(U)'s poor performance in the Delhi assembly polls, saying that the ruling party in Bihar came a cropper despite the former addressing six meetings during electioneering and putting his prestige at stake in the polls.
On the victory of the lone JD(U) candidate Shoaib Iqbal, the BJP leader said that the credit for the former's win goes to himself and not to the party or the Chief Minister as he had won earlier too.
The state unit BJP president Mangal Pandey too expressed delight at the results going in favour of his party in three states and a near miss in another and said that he has no doubt that his party will win all 40 parliamentary seats in Bihar in the next general elections.
