“Today is an emotional moment for me. It was my first election after my mother’s death. But the mothers, sisters and daughters of the country never let me feel the absence of my mother,” PM Modi said, while addressing the party workers at the BJP headquarters.
PM Modi started his victory speech with ‘Jai Jagannath’ and thanked people of Odisha for giving a clear mandate to the BJP to form its government for the first time in the state. He also thanked party workers in Kerala for sacrificing their lives in the state as the party opened its account in the state.
He said people have shown full confidence in the BJP and the NDA and the Lok Sabha elections results were a victory of the people, democracy and faith in the country’s Constitution.
“After 1962, for the first time a government has won the mandate for a third consecutive term,” Modi said.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President J P Nadda were also present at the BJP headquarters where the backdrop had ‘Thank You India’ written in many languages.
