As exit polls predicted a big win for the ruling BJP-led NDA government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hit out at the INDIA bloc, saying “it failed to strike a chord with the voters.”

“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,” Modi said in a post on X, adding that the “opportunistic INDI Alliance failed to strike a chord with the voters.”

“The opportunistic INDI Alliance failed to strike a chord with the voters. They are casteist, communal and corrupt. This alliance, aimed to protect a handful of dynasties, failed to present a futuristic vision for the nation. Through the campaign, they only enhanced their expertise on one thing- Modi bashing. Such regressive politics has been rejected by the people,” he added.

Exit polls have predicted the return of the Narendra Modi government, with NDA winning over 350 seats and the Opposition’s INDIA bloc winning between 125 and 150 seats. Pollsters have also predicted a clean sweep for the BJP in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha.
