Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has thanked the voters and the NDA karyakarta. He has expressed his confidence on the NDA government returning to power.

In a post on X, he said, "I can say with confidence that the people of India have voted in record numbers to reelect the NDA government. They have seen our track record and the manner in which our work has brought about a qualitative change in the lives of the poor, marginalised and downtrodden.

At the same time, they have seen how the reforms in India have propelled India to being the fifth largest global economy. Every scheme of ours has reached the intended beneficiaries without any bias or leakage."
