The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Results of Assembly Elections

 

The defeat of the BJP in the elections to the state assemblies of Madhya
Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, is a clear indication of the people's
discontent and anger at the policies followed by the Modi government and the
BJP state governments that have imposed unbearable burdens on the people.
These results have shattered the myth of the BJP's electoral invincibility. 

 

Instead of addressing the people's issues, the BJP governments' policies had
only deepened people's misery and tried to divert their attention into
issues aimed at sharpening communal polarization. The attacks on Muslims and
Dalits and the atmosphere of hatred and violence fostered to divide the
people have also not succeeded.

 

In Telangana, the TRS has won a sweeping victory while the BJP's tally of
seats has come down. In Mizoram, the MNF has won a decisive victory ousting
the Congress government. 

 

The new governments that will be formed in the former BJP-ruled states must
respect the people's verdict and adopt policies aimed at improving people's
livelihood and reducing their miseries. These governments must also ensure
that the unity of the people and the integrity of the country are not
further damaged by the BJP's politics of communal polarization. 

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) thanks the people who have voted for our
candidates in these elections and hails the victory of two CPI(M) candidates
in Shri Dungargarh and Bhadra in Rajasthan.
