Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi, PM Modi said, "You can celebrate as much as you want after BJP loses but don't hurt the country. This government is one that works only for development."

PM Modi claimed casteism was highly prevalent in Gujarat and it took workers like him 30 years to free Gujarat from its clutches. "But some people, out of hunger for power, in the last few months tried to sow the seeds of casteism. But people of Gujarat rejected them, for this they deserve congratulations. However, people of Gujarat will need to be more cautious about this from now on," he asserted.

He said BJP's continuous victory in Gujarat since 1989 is no less than world record. "Come, lets work hard to realise the dreams of those who fought for our freedom. We did not get to fight for India's independence but lets not waste the chance to fight for a great future for India." 

He concluded his speech saying, "Only vikas (development) will win."
