Union Minister of Jal Shakti of India, C R Patil, extended his congratulations to party leaders and workers, praising their efforts in delivering results that exceeded expectations. He also thanked the voters of Gujarat for their continued support, noting that the party has remained in power in several regions for decades.

"The Bharatiya Janata Party has achieved a grand victory in Gujarat's local bodies, including taluka panchayats, district panchayats, municipalities and municipal corporations. I extend my heartfelt congratulations and thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Gujarat BJP President Jagdishbhai Vishwakarma, Deputy Chief Minister and state Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi, and all party workers and leaders," Patil told reporters.
