Panaji: The victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarat shows the strength of the connect between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people of his home state, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said here on Monday.

"The victory shows the strength of the connect between the Prime Minister and the people of Gujarat," Parrikar told the media. 

"It is confirmation of next government. We will ensure that BJP wins handsomely in Karnataka," Parrikar said, when asked if the Gujarat victory was an indicator of the popular mood ahead of the 2019 general elections.
