Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday expressed hope that the BJP-led government will be blessed again by the people with a resounding mandate in the forthcoming general elections.

The elections to the Lok Sabha will be held in the next few months.

"Based on stupendous work, we expect our government will be blessed again by the people with a resounding mandate," she said.

India was facing enormous challenges when the Modi government took office in 2014, and it overcame those in right earnest, Sitharaman said.
