New Delhi: Prime minister Narendra Modi on Saturday welcomed the exit polls, many of which pointed at a third term for him as well as the BJP crossing 300. In a post on X, Modi said that asserted that the people have voted for the BJP in “record” numbers.
“I can say with confidence that the people of India have voted in record numbers to reelect the NDA government. They have seen our track record and the manner in which our work has brought about a qualitative change in the lives of the poor, marginalised and downtrodden,” Modi said in a post on X.
“At the same time, they have seen how the reforms in India have propelled India to being the fifth largest global economy. Every scheme of ours has reached the intended beneficiaries without any bias or leakage,” he further posted.
Modi further said that the I.N.D.I.A. Alliance was “opportunistic” and “failed to strike a chord with the voters.”
“They are casteist, communal and corrupt. This alliance, aimed to protect a handful of dynasties, failed to present a futuristic vision for the nation. Through the campaign, they only enhanced their expertise on one thing- Modi bashing. Such regressive politics has been rejected by the people,” Modi posted.
Modi also thanked the BJP “karyakarta” for their contribution and said that the workers are the “greatest strength” of the BJP.
“I would like to applaud each and every NDA Karyakarta. Across the length and breadth of India, often braving intense heat. I compliment them for meticulously explaining our development agenda to the people and motivating them to come out and vote,” he posted.
Modi also thanked all those who cast their votes across all the seven phases. “… thank you to all those who exercised their franchise. Their active participation is the cornerstone of our democracy. Their commitment and dedication ensures that the democratic spirit thrives in our nation,” he said.
The prime minister also applauded the work put in by the Election Commission as well as the security forces.
“Their dedication and meticulous planning have been crucial in upholding the integrity of our democracy, allowing citizens across the nation to vote with confidence and security. Our electoral process is something every believer in democratic values takes inspiration from,” Modi posted thanking the EC.
