New Delhi, May 4 (IANS) As vote counting continues in West Bengal, BJP MP Dr. Mahesh Sharma expressed strong confidence over emerging trends, suggesting that the party is moving towards forming the government in the state and credited the party’s central leadership, workers and voters for the performance as counting progresses.

Sharma said the early trends reflect the efforts of the party leadership and cadre on the ground. He stated that the BJP expects to form the government and bring development to the state. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's exemplary leadership and Home Minister Amit Shah's astute election management and also committed work by the party's grassroot workers for the party's stupendous performance.

Sharing further details on the party’s internal leadership efforts, Mahesh Sharma said, “Our Chanakya of all our policies, Amit Shah, along with party workers here, Suvendu Adhikari, Dilip Ghosh, all of them had started this with great enthusiasm, and the result is now in front of us...”
