The youth of the country is a triumph of the hopes of the poor, the farmer. This grand victory is a triumph of public confidence in Prime Minister Modi Ji's five-year development and strong leadership. I convey my heartfelt greetings to Modiji on behalf of crores of BJP workers," Shah tweeted.

"The result is India's mandate against propaganda, lies, personal insinuations and baseless politics by the opposition. Today's mandate also shows that the people of India have chosen evolution and nationalism by completely uprooting casteism, familyism and appeasing from the country," he said.

Shah said that Modi's tireless efforts to strengthen the BJP at every booth of the country and the BJP's multi-crore workers who form the Modi government warmly greet the historic victory.

"The people of India bow down to the masses to form the 'Modi Sarkar', a symbol of people-to-people trust and unprecedented growth. Greetings to all fellow countrymen," he added.
