Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing BJP workers at the party headquarters after leading the NDA to a resounding victory in the Lok Sabha elections. In his victory speech, PM Modi said To give your life's contribution to the cause of democracy is the essence of democracy and I thank every single person who has been involved in this process from the bottom of my heart and hold you all in the highest regard. I want to wish the best to all those who were elected today to parliament and sincerely hope that everyone in parliament will work together for the betterment of the country... and to take the country forward.
The BJP keeps its core states - the Hindi heartland, Gujarat and Maharashtra - while posting fresh victories in Bengal, Odisha and the northeast. It has also scored a huge win in Karnataka - a state the Congress rules jointly with HD Kumaraswamy. "Together we grow. Together we prosper. Together we will build a strong and inclusive India. India wins yet again! #VijayiBharat," PM Modi tweeted. On the other hand, BJP President Amit Shah thanked the nation for voting them back to power calling it a victory for the whole country. In a series of tweets in Hindi, he thanked the country saying "Phir ek baar Modi Sarkar" (once again, Modi government).
