Washington, Mar 13 (PTI) An Indian-American body celebrated the BJP's victory in the recently concluded state Assembly elections particularly in Uttar Pradesh, saying it is the result of the good work done by the party in the country and these states.

"It is a historic win for the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, where after 37 years, voters have re-elected the same party back. This shows the people's trust in Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his governance. This is an endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pro-poor, pro-farmer and pro-development policies," American India Public Affairs Committee president Jagdish Sewhani said.
