Reflecting on the bypoll results, he pointed to Kundarki constituency in Moradabad district, which delivered the largest margin of victory in the state where BJP candidate Ramveer Thakur registered victory by over 1.40 lakh vote margin.

"The mandate in Kundarki is a clear message in support of the prime minister's vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'. It is also a slap in the face of those who indulge in casteist, regionalist and religion-based politics," he said.

Chaudhary further said the people of Uttar Pradesh have recognized the BJP's development initiatives and voted decisively for the leadership of Modi and Yogi.

"Development may have different definitions for different people, but the people of this state have ideologically supported our welfare policies and voted for Modi ji and Yogi ji for the betterment of Uttar Pradesh," he added.

The BJP, along with its ally RLD, won seven out of nine seats in the assembly bypolls, reinforcing its political stronghold in the state. Two seats went to the Samajwadi Party.
