NEW DELHI: Citing its win in civic elections in Maharashtra and Gujarat BJP today said it should be an "eye-opener" for the opposition as people have indicated their support for demonetization and dislike for those protesting against it.Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said BJP's big gain in Maharashtra is an indication of which way the wind is blowing. "It is clear that people did not like the opposition's protest against the Modi government's action against black money and supported the (demonetization) decision. So it was significant. "In the polls to 147 municipalities in Maharashtra, BJP won 52 chairpersons' posts against eight it did in 2011 and its members won 980 seats against 298 earlier. "These areas were a bastion of Congress and NCP.
