Our bond with Telangana is unbreakable and we will keep working for the people, the PM said after his party was defeated in the southern state.

INDIAN prime minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (3) thanked the ‘janta janardhan’ (people’s verdict) for the dominant win of his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in three key states in the country’s Hindi heartland. The BJP wrested Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh from the opposition Indian National Congress while retaining Madhya Pradesh.
It, however, failed to make inroads in Telangana, the fourth state that went to the polls last month, but promised its people for continued support. He also thanked the people of the states for their “unwavering support” and party karyakartas (functionaries) for their tireless work in these elections.
In a post on X, Modi said in English and Hindi, “We bow to the Janta Janardan. The results in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan indicate that the people of India are firmly with politics of good governance and development, which the @BJP4India stands for.”
