People of India have chosen a strong and incorruptible leader in Modi and his vision of New India as they rejected divisive caste and dynastic politics of the self-indulging "Maha-Milavat" opposition, said OFBJP vice president Adapa Prasad.

"The 2019 elections show that the new generation in India is finding its roots in the historical Hindu heritage of India while aspiring to make India a modern, developed and confident state.
