Party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi also said on Twitter that BJP chief Amit Shah may have to apply for a new job in the party in the wake of the electoral reverses.
In a series of tweets, he said "Surprised Mr Modi? Within 100 days itself the people of India are voting for a Modi free india!"
"UP said no to Amit shah and yogi's brand of politics. Namo must introspect."
"Those like Modi and BJP who sleep the smug, complacent sleep of communalism deserve the rude awakening given by the electorate today. Amit Shah may have to apply for a new job in BJP".
With "Love Jihad" issue boomranging on BJP, Singhvi wondered "either BJP doesn't give importance to local issues or Love Jihad is a foreign issue?"
"Campaign creativity evident by the fact that despite many existing issues in UP, precedence was given to fictional ones like Love Jihad", he said in a jibe at the ruling party.
