"People have accepted us due to our 'Seva Bhav'. One has to prepare oneself to be always ready to help people even when you move through the lanes of politics and power," Prime Minister Modi said.

Stressing that the voters had chosen the NDA leaders for their hard work, PM Modi said that a big mandate meant "more responsibility" for the government. He added that the 2019 elections were about "inclusive India." He added, "People have restored faith is us. It is their trust that has led to the pro-incumbency wave in the polls."

During the NDA meeting, BJP chief Amit Shah addressed the newly elected NDA MPs at the Central Hall in the Parliament, where he heaped praises over PM Modi for "fulfilling his promises." Shah said that the overwhelming verdict for the NDA signified that the voters had rejected caste politics in the country.
