In his statement, Shah said the mandate reflected strong public backing for the BJP across Gujarat’s urban and rural local bodies.​

“This victory is the result of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s spirit of ‘Nation First’, politics of development, and the tireless hard work and intense efforts of BJP’s dedicated workers under extreme heat,” he said.​

Shah extended congratulations to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, BJP state president Jagdish Vishwakarma, organisation general secretary Ratnakarji, and other party office bearers, along with BJP workers across the state.​
