Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde Saturday attributed the Bharatiya Janata Party`s (BJP) impressive performance in the recent Assembly polls to the outstanding welfare initiatives undertaken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s government over the past nine years.

The election results, declared on December 3, showcased the BJP`s retention of power in Madhya Pradesh, successful ousting of the Congress in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, securing more seats than the AIMIM in Telangana, and winning two seats in Mizoram.
