BJP today attributed its stunning win in Lok Sabha polls to Narendra Modi's aggressive campaign with the promise of good governance and development as also to the anti-Congress sentiment across the country due to corruption, price rise and mis-governance.
The party's promise to re-write India's success story by ushering in an new era in the country also yielded rich dividends, senior leaders said.
Addressing a press conference, BJP President Rajnath Singh said, "It is the people's mandate for change. This mandate is for Narendra Modi's popularity, capability and credibility. With this result, it is the beginning of a new era...Time has come to re-write the Indian success story."
An emotional party veteran L K Advani said the country had never witnessed such an election in its history and termed victory as a result of mainly the people's anger against corruption, misgovernance and dynastic rule and asked those in politics to draw lessons from the results.
"People who are in power in government and those who are in politics should also collectively analyse this result and take lessons," he said.
BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said, "This victory is the result of hard labour of millions of BJP karyakartas, blessings of Sangha and able leadership of Narendra Modi. We receive this mandate of people of India with humility and gratitude.
