In a tweet, Gowda said, "Congratulations to my dear friend President Rajapaksa for securing the people's mandate.
I wish you the very best in your endeavour to lead your country and all its people to a path of peace and prosperity."
Sri Lanka's strongman responded to the wishes positively.
"Thank you for your kind wishes," Rajapaksa tweeted.
