He said, "The people who voted for us, I thank them. This is the victory of BJP workers. In Town Bardowali, I expected the margin to be a bit more. However, the results prove the understanding between the CPI (M) and Congress. We will work accordingly in the future, but people did not take this understanding in a good way."
