From Celebration to Apprehension - Leaders React to BJP Lead

“Let the counting process be completed fully and the VVPATs matched,” said Mamata Banerjee.

As the counting of votes is underway for the Lok Sabha elections for the 542 seats that went to polls, BJP is leading in more than 300 of them. Many political leaders took to Twitter to congratulate the winning team.

One of the first leaders to congratulate Modi was National Conference leader Omar Abdullah.

“Credit where credit is due PM Modi Sahib and Mr Amit Shah put together a winning alliance and a very professional campaign,” he tweeted.

So the exit polls were correct. All that’s left is to congratulate the BJP & NDA for a stellar performance. Credit where credit is due PM Modi Sahib & Mr Amit Shah put together a winning alliance & a very professional campaign. Bring on the next five years.
