Prime Minister Narendra Modi has responded to these exit poll numbers with confidence. “I can say with confidence people of India have voted in record numbers to reelect the National Democratic Alliance government,” Modi stated.
Modi also criticized the opposition INDIA alliance, describing it as “opportunistic, casteist, communal, and corrupt.” He suggested that their campaign, which he characterized as focusing on “Modi-bashing,” failed to resonate with voters. “Through the poll campaign, the opposition alliance only enhanced its expertise in Modi-bashing; people rejected such regressive politics,” he added.
As the nation awaits the final results, the exit polls have set the stage for what appears to be a significant triumph for the NDA, reinforcing Modi’s leadership and vision for India’s future.
