Mangaluru, Mar 11: Bharatiya Janata Party leaders in this coastal city celebrated the victory of ‘Modi wave’ in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

Dozens of party leaders including former deputy speaker Yogesh Bhat, MLC Monappa Bhandary gathered in front of the party office in the city and raised slogans. The party workers burst crackers and distributed sweets among them.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Bhandary said that the results of the elections, which were fought under party supremo Amit Shah, show that the BJP has been able to dispel the perception of being a party of upper castes only as now it commands the support of all sections of the society.

"It is a Modi wave. The wave which started with 2014 Lok Sabha elections is continuing in 2017 and the momentum will go beyond the 2019 general elections," said Mr Bhat.

"The credit goes to Prime Minister Modi, his government's pro-poor policies and party chief Amit Shah's strategy. People have fought the elections on our behalf in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand and results have vindicated their faith in us," the BJP leaders said.
