Results 2019: We Are Now Building A New India, Says PM Modi

There was a time when some political parties kept slogans like "let secular forces unite, let secularism stand as one".... But between 2014 and 2019, their reality was unveiled and this time no one mustered the courage to try and spread lies under the garb of secularism... they stood exposed... After 5 years of our governance... the opposition could not find a single issue to blame us... no corruption, no real issues to blame us... that tells a story. We are now building a new India and the first thing to end in this New India will be this caste system that holds us back and divides us... from here on there will only be 2 castes.... 1 caste is 'Poor' and the other caste is of those who will contribute in every smallest way possible to help those who need to be brought out of poverty. If we can bring the same spirit that Indians had while struggling for freedom, towards doing our bit for a new India, then we would create a prosperous India... 'Swatantra Bharat se Samruddh Bharat' banana hai. I appeal to you all that even with such a tremendous verdict, such an immense victory, we must take every step with humility.

We all are here... and you all can see... and that is our story.... And that is what is special about the BJP. There are many who say Modi-Modi... but this win is not Modi's win.... It is the victory of the earnest and honest Indian... it is the victory of those farmers who work night and day, through blood and sweat so that we get our meals... it is a win for that woman in rural India who waited for ages just to get a toilet... It is a win for those who sat in darkness for decades just to see the luxury of a light bulb... This is their victory.

Election Results 2019: Narendra Modi: This Is The Biggest Democratic Event In The Entire World

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...

When Krishna was asked who he represents... he replied, I stand for no one person or people... I stand for Hastinapur... so if today someone has won, it is India that has won... if someone is victorious in this celebration of democracy, it is the people.... And hence, I place this victory at the feet of the people of India...

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...

There were many state elections too... and I want to congratulate those who have been elected in the respective states.... I salute them and the federal structure of India...
