PM Modi said, "This happened in India 60 years ago and now you have given this good fortune to your sevak Modi. In a country like India where the youth's aspirations are so big, where the people have so many dreams, if people give a government an opportunity to serve again after 10 years of work, then it is a very big victory and a great trust."
Modi said, "This trust of yours is my biggest asset, this trust of yours inspires me to work hard to take the country to new heights for your continuous service."

The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the people of Kashi and said that I am grateful to you, I am indebted to you. He said that more than 64 crore people of the country have voted in this election. More than 31 crore women have participated in this election.
