'People placed their faith in NDA for a third consecutive time': PM Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday thanked the people of India for giving the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) a "historic" third consecutive win.

"People have placed their faith in NDA, for a third consecutive time! This is a historical feat in India's history," PM Modi said in a post on X.

"I bow to the Janata Janardan for this affection and assure them that we will continue the good work done in the last decade to keep fulfilling the aspirations of people," said PM Modi, who won from Varanasi seat by a margin of 1.5 lakh votes.

"I also salute all our Karyakartas for their hard work. Words will never do justice to their exceptional efforts," PM Modi said.

As per the last received trends, NDA crossed the halfway mark and won 290 seats.

The Opposition bloc INDIA also made a comeback this time, winning 234 seats in the Lok Sabha - a huge improvement since 2019.

In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP is losing to Samajwadi Party-Congress combine which is leading in 42 seats as opposed to BJP's 35.

Interestingly, Uttar Pradesh, which has 80 seats, played a significant role in Modi's wins in 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who quite unexpectedly trailed in a particular round, has won the Varanasi seat with a significant less margin than 2019.

Modi's colleague in the government, Smriti Irani, who defeated Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from Amethi in 2019, was trailing by over 1 lakhs votes in the seat.
