After the election results announced, in which BJP didn’t lead in any of the five states and Congress made a lead in three states,
Tamilisai Soundararajan
, the BJP leader, said that it is a successful defeat. After she pronounced the term Successful Defeat (வெற்றிகரமான தோல்வி), the term turned popular and the people started questioning her. To those people, she had replied with a proper explanation. She says that in Rajasthan, BJP got 40% of the votes and Congress got 41% and the margin is very close. This defeat doesn’t mean that the people lost the hope on the BJP and she also praised the BJP cadres for they had worked hard for the elections. Tamilisai had already stated that they would win in the Parliamentary elections.
