Leading political parties are divided over the impact of results of elections for five state Legislative Assemblies. The ruling party, BJP said that today's results will not have any impact on the elections for Lok Sabha to be held in 2019. But the Opposition, Congress has said that the results are a precursor to the upcoming general elections.
Gujarat BJP Spokesperson Bharat Pandya said, "There was a false campaign of anti-incumbancy in three states but there is a mindset in Rajasthan that they change mandate in every five years. Till last night, Congress leaders made much hue and cry over alleged tampering of EVMs by the BJP. But now they do not remember the issue. They always tried to defame BJP by all sorts of way. We are not afraid of these results and we will not deviate too. We accept the mandate given by voters in all five states."
