is the Conservative MP for
Harrow East in Greater London and is Vice-Chairman of the
Indo-British APPG and Chairman of the British Hindus APPG. In
response to the news that Narendra Modi and the BJP have won the
election and will now form a government, Blackman had the
following to say.
“My heartfelt congratulations to Narendra Modi on the occasion of
his victory in the Indian general election and my congratulations
to the Bharatiya Janata Party on being elected to govern for
another term.
“For the BJP to win such a vast number of seats sends a very
clear message that the people of India trust the party to deliver
on its election pledges and promises.
“Beyond the size of the majority now commanded by the BJP, this
result is a decisive verdict on the support enjoyed by Narendra
Modi across the nation of India. His first term provided
prosperity, security and a major uplift in social conditions and
let us look forward to him delivering on these three fronts – and
many more – in the next few years.
“The BJP are the natural allies of the Conservative and Unionist
Party and I am positive about the ever blossoming relationship
between our two great nation states.
“India has been strengthened both domestically and abroad under
Modi’s premiership and I look forward to his new term - Jai
Hind!”
