In 7 Kerala Seats, BJP Finished 2nd; Tally In Bengal Goes From Zero To Three

BJP has made clear inroads into Kerala, though LDF has won the state with a whopping majority. Not only has it won its first seat in that state, thanks to 86-year-old O. Rajagopal, it has finished second in seven constituencies.

According to the latest data available with the election commission, BJP's vote share has risen to 10.6 percent. When the results of the 2011 assembly elections were declared, BJP's vote-share stood at a measly 6.03 percent.

In several seats, the BJP came a close second.

It came as no surprise, therefore, that an elated Narendra Modi congratulated his party cadres in the state and applauded their hard work.

Narendra Modi Tweets : I salute all those who built the BJP in Kerala, brick by brick, decade after decade. It is due to them that we are seeing this day.
In Kerala, the persistence of the Party has paid off today & we will become an even stronger voice of the people.
