"The opportunistic INDI Alliance failed to strike a chord with the voters. They are casteist, communal, and corrupt. This alliance, aimed at protecting a handful of dynasties, failed to present a futuristic vision for the nation. Throughout the campaign, they only enhanced their expertise in one thing—Modi bashing. Such regressive politics have been rejected by the people," Modi said in a tweet.


Modi said he is confident of a record win as the people have seen his government's reforms "propel India to being the fifth largest global economy."


"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 how our work has brought about a qualitative change in the lives of the poor, marginalized, and downtrodden. 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," Modi added.

Thanking party workers, he said, "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. Our Karyakartas are our greatest strength."

He also applauded the voters, especially the youth and women, saying, "A heartfelt thank you to all those who exercised their franchise. Their active participation is the cornerstone of our democracy. Their commitment and dedication ensure that the democratic spirit thrives in our nation. I would also like to specially appreciate India’s Nari Shakti and Yuva Shakti. Their strong presence at the polls is a very encouraging sign."

Most exit polls have predicted a huge win for the NDA, which is expected to get 350+ seats. Republic Bharat--Matrize has given the NDA 353-368, INDI Alliance 118-133, and others 43-48.
