What Ramdas Athawale said about Lok Sabha results?
The union minister said, "We have to accept the results. We expected that the people would vote for us because of the work PM Modi has done...

The people thought that the BJP split them but that is not true, they came to the BJP on their own..."

“Let me clarify that I have not spoken to either Nitish Kumar or Chandrababu Naidu. I had a telephone discussion with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and the general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The result is supportive of change. The results in the country are promising, especially in Uttar Pradesh. The people of Uttar Pradesh have given different results than the assessment made by many. In UP, BJP candidates used to win with a big margin, but this time, the victory margin has been reduced. We were concerned about the Hindi belt but not the southern belt. We were of the view that the opposition needed to focus more on the Hindu belt, and this result is showing improvement. But still states like Madhya Pradesh and others need more focus."
