Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s NDA reached the victory bigger than in 2014. 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.
Votes are still being counted, but on current trends, the Indian prime minister’s Bharatiya Janata Party will win a more impressive single-party majority in parliament than last time around.
On the big day- Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted a thread-
सबका साथ + सबका विकास + सबका विश्वास = विजयी भारत
Together we grow.
Together we prosper.
Together we will build a strong and inclusive India.
India wins yet again! #VijayiBharat

PM Modi on the spirit- “Chawkidar”
The people of India became Chowkidars and rendered great service to the nation. Chowkidar has become a powerful symbol to safeguard India from the evils of casteism, communalism, corruption and cronyism.

Now, the time has come to take the Chowkidar Spirit to the next level.
Keep this spirit alive at every moment and continue working for India’s progress.
The word ‘Chowkidar’ goes from my Twitter name but it remains an integral part of me. Urging you all to do the same too!

Minister of Foreign affairs Sushma Swaraj is the first from the cabinet who extended her wishes to PM Narendra Modi-
प्रधान मंत्री जी @narendramodi – भारतीय जनता पार्टी को इतनी बड़ी विजय दिलाने के लिए आपका बहुत बहुत अभिनन्दन. मैं देशवासियों के प्रति हृदय से कृज्ञता व्यक्त करती हूँ.

Elections were held on 542 of the 543 Lok Sabha seats and a party or alliance needs 272 seats to form the government.
It’s a remarkable demonstration of voters’ faith in Modi’s carefully crafted strongman image. The members of parliament that actually got elected won’t count for much anyway, given how heavily their campaign leaned on Modi’s charisma.
As for the party and its ideology, the BJP’s identification with Modi is now complete. He has a clear five-year runaway to shape the national agenda, and his ministers will have to back him to the hilt.
Hence, it’s proved as BJP chief Amit Shah said during election campaigns that- if Narendra Modi was a wave in 2014, He is a Tsunami this time.
