Taking a dig at caste politics, Union minister of state and BJP election co-incharge Arjun Ram Meghwal tweeted, "Casteism lost, nationalism won."

"Double Engine Governments are winning across India under the leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi. It is very evident that Voters have more faith in the 'development politics' of BJP than the 'appeasement politics' of the Opposition," Ravi tweeted.
