Reacting to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) heading towards a historic maiden victory in the West Bengal Assembly elections, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday termed the outcome a triumph of nationalism and democracy.
Dr Yadav alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had consistently supported infiltrators and anti-national elements, asserting that this led to the electorate voting against the Trinamool Congress and in favour of the BJP.
