Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the NDA's win in the Lok Sabha elections as a triumph for the people, democracy, and the nation's Constitution.
"After 1962, for the first time a government has won the mandate for a third consecutive term," Modi said, while addressing a gathering at the BJP headquarters.
Modi began his victory speech with 'Jai Jagannath' and expressed gratitude to the people of Odisha for decisively electing the BJP, enabling it to form the government in the state for the first time.
He also referred to the victory of the BJP candidate in Kerala, saying many party workers have sacrificed their lives in the state.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President JP Nadda were also present at the BJP headquarters, where the backdrop had 'Thank You India' written in many languages, including Urdu.
Modi said NDA has performed very well in Andhra Pradesh under the leadership of Chandrababu Naidu and in Bihar under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Modi also thanked the Election Commission for conducting the world's largest election with great efficiency.
