BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has won the 2019 Elections by a resounding margin. The party has won 303 seats out of 542 making it one of the biggest victories for a party in India's electoral history.
Accepting the resounding poll victory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday promised that he will not work with "bad intentions" and that he would like to move ahead by taking everyone along, leaving behind the bitterness witnessed during the Lok Sabha campaign.
Addressing the victory celebration at the party headquarters here, he said that the mandate won by the BJP-led coalition was the biggest development in the democratic world and reflected an abiding strength in a democracy.
