From Tendulkar to Laxman, cricket fraternity wished PM Modi-led NDA on winning the Lok Sabha 2019 election
Narendra Modi-led Bhartiya Janta Party will form the government of India for the next five years after a complete majority win in the Lok Sabha election 2019.
The victory is historic as BJP itself won 303 seats that left the opposition dazed and demoralised.
While the counting on few of the seats is still going on, the BJP-led NDA is poised to get 348 of the 542 Lok Sabha seats.
From global leaders to Bollywood stars, wishes poured in for the winner of the world's largest democracy.
Cricket fraternity too shared greetings and wished PM Modi as the ruling party came back in power with a staggering mandate.
Master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar wrote, "My heartiest congratulations to @narendramodi Ji & @BJP4India for winning the #LokSabhaElections2019. The nation is with you in building a brighter and stronger New India."
