Modi says India will 'write a new chapter of big decisions'
Narendra Modi, in his speech at the BJP headquarters, promised to write a “new chapter of big decisions” after declaring victory for his coalition alliance.
The Indian prime minister praised his country’s election process, saying that “every Indian feels proud because of it", the BBC reported.
I will say to every voter of the country on this moment of victory, I want to bow down and salute them.
Modi said that since 1962, no government has won a third term, adding that his BJP party’s vote had doubled in some areas, including in Delhi, where he said the party has achieved a “clean sweep”, the outlet said.
He pledged not to shirk from pushing forward with his agenda, and said that he would “work at a faster pace in electronics, semiconductors and defense manufacturing”, Reuters reported. He added:
This country will write a new chapter of big decisions. This is Modi’s guarantee.
