After emerging victorious in both Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a victory speech at the BJP headquarters in Delhi.

The final numbers in Gujarat are 99/80 in favour of BJP. Even though they lost, the Congress is celebrating as well, since this is the first time in two decades that the win margin is so close.

However, the prime minister hailed the victory of development or ‘Vikas’, and said that the people of the country are hungry for development.

Here are the top quotes from PM Modi’s victory speech.

Even though the party is celebrating, this isn’t a clean sweep for BJP. The margin of Gujarat results is closer than what anyone in the BJP would be comfortable with, especially since it’s the prime minister and the party president’s home ground. Is it time for Modi to introspect or is all well?
