: DMK leader M. Karunanidhi on Wednesday congratulated Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi on his unanimous election as leader of the BJP’s Parliamentary Party.

“It is admirable that from a humble beginning in Gujarat, you have risen to the top position of the country through your innate intelligence and hard and sincere work,” he said in a statement.

Recalling Mr Modi’s acceptance speech in the Central Hall of Parliament that his government “would think, work and live for the poor and it is dedicated to the development of villages, youth and women,” Mr. Karunanidhi said the people eagerly expected the new Prime Minister to achieve those lofty goals.
