I am your mazdoor number one. Nobody, even my rivals, can question the hardwork put in by me. For the next 60 months, you will not get a better ‘mazdoor’ (labourer)
Narendra Modi
In this victory, the contribution of Mr. Modi’s leadership, RSS and other organisations like the BJP, has to be analysed. But the result mainly is against corruption, misgovernance and dynastic rule
BJP senior leader lK Advani
We have done pretty badly. As vice-president of the party, I hold myself responsible
Rahul Gandhi
This mandate is against us and we respect it. I am the party’s chief and I accept responsibility of the defeat
Sonia Gandhi
This is a mandate for change and it is a mandate for Modi. People from all segments have voted for BJP breaking the barriers of caste, religion, creed and region. The BJP was considered an urban party but it has emerged as a party of slums, villages, poor and all sections of the society
Rajnath Singh
We will play a greater constructive role in the country. We thank the people and at the end of it, it is the people who have emerged as the ‘Man of the Match’
Mamata Banerjee
Widespread rigging, violence and intimidation targeting the left Front in these elections has led to a distorted result which does not reflect the popular support for the CPI (M) and the front
Prakash Karat
Time is always changing but the Congress organisation will remain united every time. Whether we lose or win in elections, we will not stop here, but re-strengthen ourselves and party
Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot
DMK accepts people’s verdict with a bowed head. We have faced similar losses and bigger triumphs than other parties
M Karunanidhi
The result is a rude awakening for those who wanted to wish away the Modi factor. It is for me to accept complete and total responsibility for the outcome of this election in the State
J&K CM Omar Abdullah
Congratulations to Modi and BJP. Now they have the decisive mandate of the People they must fulfill their Promises
Digvijay Singh
