The Telugu Desam Party, a former ally of the BJP, today said the results of the byelections to four Lok Sabha and 11 assembly seats were a "slap" on the face of the saffron party over the "anti-people" policies of the Narendra Modi government.
"The BJPs drubbing is a clear reflection of the mood of the nation. The Modi era is going to end in just five years," TDP politburo member and Andhra Pradesh Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu said in a statement
That it lost three of the four Lok Sabha seats and 10 of the 11 Assembly seats, for which bypolls were held, should be an eye-opener for the BJP, he said.
The "strong anti-BJP sentiment" across the country formed the foundation for the unity of opposition parties, he said.
"The fall of BJP started with Karnataka and the by-elections were the second part of it. Its losing streak will be complete with the 2019 general elections," the TDP politburo member said.
