BJP Lok Sabha Election Results 2019: PM Modi's Varanasi seat is the most important for the BJP (File)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing BJP workers at the party headquarters after leading the NDA to a resounding victory in the Lok Sabha elections. In his victory speech, PM Modi said To give your life's contribution to the cause of democracy is the essence of democracy and I thank every single person who has been involved in this process from the bottom of my heart and hold you all in the highest regard. I want to wish the best to all those who were elected today to parliament and sincerely hope that everyone in parliament will work together for the betterment of the country... and to take the country forward.

The BJP keeps its core states - the Hindi heartland, Gujarat and Maharashtra - while posting fresh victories in Bengal, Odisha and the northeast. It has also scored a huge win in Karnataka - a state the Congress rules jointly with HD Kumaraswamy. "Together we grow. Together we prosper. Together we will build a strong and inclusive India. India wins yet again! #VijayiBharat," PM Modi tweeted. On the other hand, BJP President Amit Shah thanked the nation for voting them back to power calling it a victory for the whole country. In a series of tweets in Hindi, he thanked the country saying "Phir ek baar Modi Sarkar" (once again, Modi government).

May 23, 2019 20:39 (IST) Narendra Modi: I would like to say that with your tremendous blessing, and with the support of my NDA allies, who all have worked very hard... I want to make 3 promises:

I will never take any decision with ill intention. One does make mistakes while working, we all do... but I will not do anything with a bad intention. . I will never do anything to make a personal fortune, nor do anything for ill-gotten wealth

Every pore, every cell in my body will work non-stop to ensure that the country keeps moving forward and my fellow Indians go from strength to strength

May 23, 2019 20:32 (IST) Results 2019: We Are Now Building A New India, Says PM Modi

There was a time when some political parties kept slogans like "let secular forces unite, let secularism stand as one".... But between 2014 and 2019, their reality was unveiled and this time no one mustered the courage to try and spread lies under the garb of secularism... they stood exposed... After 5 years of our governance... the opposition could not find a single issue to blame us... no corruption, no real issues to blame us... that tells a story. We are now building a new India and the first thing to end in this New India will be this caste system that holds us back and divides us... from here on there will only be 2 castes.... 1 caste is 'Poor' and the other caste is of those who will contribute in every smallest way possible to help those who need to be brought out of poverty. If we can bring the same spirit that Indians had while struggling for freedom, towards doing our bit for a new India, then we would create a prosperous India... 'Swatantra Bharat se Samruddh Bharat' banana hai. I appeal to you all that even with such a tremendous verdict, such an immense victory, we must take every step with humility.

We all are here... and you all can see... and that is our story.... And that is what is special about the BJP. There are many who say Modi-Modi... but this win is not Modi's win.... It is the victory of the earnest and honest Indian... it is the victory of those farmers who work night and day, through blood and sweat so that we get our meals... it is a win for that woman in rural India who waited for ages just to get a toilet... It is a win for those who sat in darkness for decades just to see the luxury of a light bulb... This is their victory.

I stand for Hastinapur... so if today someone has won, it is India that has won... if someone is victorious in this celebration of democracy, it is the people.... And hence, I place this victory at the feet of the people of India...

I want to wish the best to all those who were elected today to parliament, and sincerely hope that everyone in parliament will work together for the betterment of the country... and to take the country forward...
