Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday showered praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his welfare schemes and "able leadership" as trends suggested a big win for the BJP in Uttar Pradesh.

"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is God's blessing for the country and people have tremendous faith in his welfare schemes," Chouhan said in a series of tweets this morning after early trends suggested that BJP was on its way to form the government in UP after a hiatus of 15 years.

"The people of the country have again expressed confidence in BJP4India and its able leadership which ensured its huge victory," he tweeted.

"The huge victory after demonetisation has proved that people are ready to face even problems for a corruption free country," Chouhan added.

The BJP and its allies has marched ahead in 305 Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh as per latest trends from all the 403 seats.
