As exit polls predicted a big win for the ruling BJP-led NDA government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hit out at the INDIA bloc, saying “it failed to strike a chord with the voters.”
“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, adding that the “opportunistic INDI Alliance failed to strike a chord with the voters.”
“The opportunistic INDI Alliance 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,” he added.
As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections ended on Saturday with the conclusion of voting in the 7th phase, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday thanked the country’s electorate for exercising their democratic right and exuded confidence that people have voted in record numbers to re-elect the NDA government.
The prime minister said he can say with confidence that the people of India have voted in record numbers to re-elect 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. At the same time, they have seen how the reforms in India have propelled the nation to being the fifth largest global economy, he added.
The prime minister also hailed the Election Commission for their “exemplary efforts” in conducting the polls. “I would like to commend the Election Commission for their exemplary efforts in ensuring a smooth and fair electoral process. 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,” Modi said.
