“We already have the undisputed winners and they are the people of India! Once again, India has won, the power of the ballot has triumphed and the spirit of democracy has shown itself supreme,” he said.
“I congratulate the EC & the entire election & security staff for their continuous efforts during the entire Election,” he said.
He also lauded the role of social media and said due to it “lies & false promises” of several leaders could not go beyond the podiums of their rallies and called for more powers to the social media.
“It has caused the downfall of manufactured lies and half truths at a very nascent stage...In this age of information and social media the lies that come out of their microphones cannot even get past the podium of their speech venues, forget reaching others. More power to social media in the days ahead,” he said.
