«The Congress party assumes they have done better this time, but the fact is that in states they themselves run, like Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh, they have floundered. They have done relatively well in some other states because of the courtesy of their allies. Let us see how long their allies will tolerate them,» he said in his letter.
«It is a truly historic occasion. As I have said many times in the past, this is the result of his almighty’s extraordinary blessing on you. I have no doubt that you will continue to be showered with the Lord's blessing, and will continue to serve our great nation with absolute dedication that we have all become familiar with for a decade,» the ex-PM said.
«The elections have thrown up interesting results. It proves the vibrancy of Indian democracy. It has proved that you are a true democrat. The results also expose the ugly campaign of the Congress party to discredit our institutions and democratic processes. The people of India will teach their arrogance and negativity a big lesson.»
