Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Congress for its victory in Assembly polls on December 11 and said the BJP, which has suffered reverses in the elections, accepts people’s mandate with humility.
In a tweet, Mr. Modi also congratulated Telangana Chief Minister K.C. Rao for his party’s landslide win in the State and the Mizo National Front for its victory in Mizoram.
With the BJP suffering setbacks in its strongholds, Mr. Modi sought to boost the morale of its workers, saying they worked day and night and that he saluted their hard work. “Victory and defeat are an integral part of life. Today’s results will further our resolve to serve people and work even harder for the development of India,” Mr. Modi said.
