Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Thursday said the party fully respects the decision of the people and congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP for their victory in Lok Sabha polls.
Modi led his Bharatiya Janata Party towards what is certain to be a resounding victory for a second term in office.
