If Notes Ban Was An Election Issue, People Stood By PM Modi Like A Wall, Says Amit Shah

An emboldened BJP President Amit Shah was calm and candid and sat with a resolve to answer all questions from reporters at the party headquarters but one: the arithmetic of BJP's votes gain. Shrugging off the question, Mr Shah asked a couple of reporters to not get into details of a Hindu-Muslim vote divide and the combination of vote banks. "The country's poor have connected with PM Modi and that's why BJP won," adding, "people of all castes and communities have picked the BJP".
