फेरि एकपटक ‘मोदी मोदी’को जयजयकार !
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has thanked the people of India for giving him a “historic mandate” of five more years in office, after a landslide victory in the general election. “We all want a new India. I want to bow down my head and say thank you,” he said in a victory address to supporters of his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP is projected to get about 300 of the 543 seats in parliament.
It is likely to take a larger share of the vote than in the 2014 elections. The main opposition alliance, which is headed by Rahul Gandhi’s Congress party, has admitted defeat. The 68-year-old prime minister was showered with rose petals by thousands of supporters as he arrived at the BJP headquarters on Thursday evening. “This election was fought not by politicians but the people of this country – but it’s the people of this country who have emerged victorious,” Mr Modi told supporters in Delhi.
